Black Defendants 2 Clarence Thomas 0

In two separate cases the Supreme Court overturned the conviction of Black defendants convicted by all white juries in cases where Blacks were summarily dismissed during jury selection.

The interesting thing about these cases is that in the Texas case an inmate facing execution had his conviction overturned in 6-3 decision with Scalia, Rehinquest and Negro Tommy in dissent.

The other case was a California case where all the justices except for Negro Tommy were overwhelming convinced that California's rules for determining jury bias were too strict.

On another issue

I watched Nancy Grace or something like that on CNN tonight. Is this chick for real. She acted like a fool on television after the Jackson verdict. What is up with her?
