NiFong on Trial
Mike Nifong, famous for supporting false and unproven allegations against white Duke Lacrosse players so Nifong could get re-elected in a majority black district, goes on trial today. Unfortunately, it's only for violating alleged ethics rules for the state bar association (lawyers have ethics rules?)
Mike Nifong is a district attorney. In North Carolina, this is an elected position. Yes, he's a Democrat. To tell you how far above the common man this person thinks, how about this quote from his lawyer:Public opinion is not going to weigh in on how the proceeding develops and will not weigh in on the ultimate decision by the bar. Our purpose is not to sway public opinion but to present his case to the State Bar.
In other words,
This case does not concern you peons, so shut up. This is a private club here, us lawyers who are above the law. We don't care what the people think, except when it's election time, and then we only care when we can't gerrymander the election results in our favor. Now go away while we big people talk now.
Welcome to Democrat-led government in North Carolina.
