Alabama Elects Nine Black Judges

Oh Alabama, can I see you and shake your hand?
Make friends down in Alabama. I'm from a new land

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.

Naturally, none of them owe allegiance to anything other than the law.... and the donors that got them there?
