Still Rising Again after All These Years 0

At AL.com, John Archibald skewers the Alabama Attorney-General Marshall’s claim that “he would never use the law as a means to politcal ends.” A state court recently ruled that a hastily-passed Alabana law to protect Confederate monuments was unconstitutional; Archibald argues that Marshall’s decision to appeal that court’s ruling is as political as it gets. A snippet:

By the next morning (after the ruling–ed.) Marshall’s office had issued a statement assuring Alabamians that he would appeal, that he would work to force Birmingham and other cities to keep what Confederate apologists had erected.

Marshall will do everything in his power to make sure places like Birmingham and people like the descendants of slaves have no say in whether the monuments to the Confederate Lost Cause stand on their land and in their faces like a giant middle finger.
