The times are a-changin'

In an unprecedented event, nine black women were elected as circuit and district judges in Jefferson County, Alabama, this November. For a predominantly Republican state, the Democratic sweep came as a surprise, as Alabama is one of the few states that judges still have to run on party lines to get elected.

Hell yeah, I'd call this unprecedented.

Another sign of the times the Trump Administration days are numbered

And a supreme irony that it happened after the Obama era?

Or is it?

History will treat Obama well and deliver the socio-political progress befitting the aspirations of the Obama era.

well done to them.....

it should have happened at least 8 years ago >:( >:( >:(

Um, none of them were up for election 8 years ago, C(l)ods

Seeing as the elections were coincident, perhaps that was more State issues than Federal issues.

Wink at anyone of them and get yourself a re-trial

While 8 block judges is good the idea of judges being ELECTED is truly apalling. Naturally, none of them owe allegiance to anything other than the law.... and the donors that got them there?

thats some racist sexist poo right there..

why are you not "outraged" Marla?
