La lutte continue - and should not be diverted into anti-Trump posturing, as the Democrats are now desperately trying to do.

And Killer Koh himself signed off on the Murder of Mr. Alwaki, then approved by Clinton and then Obama. Killer Koh was the Legal Architect and Spear-Carrier and Hatchet-man for the Obama/Clinton/Koh Drone Murder Campaign against Muslims of Color--a Nuremberg Crime against Humanity verging on Genocide. I told this entire Nazi "law" faculty that in the early summer of 2015--repeatedly and in no uncertain terms. They invited Killer Koh anyway because they fully supported Killer Koh and the Obama/Clinton/Koh extermination campaign of Muslims of Color. And that is what was at stake here in our Rally against Killer Koh and this Nazi College of Law on October 28, 2016--NEVER AGAIN! From the bottom of my Heart, I want to thank and commend everyone who had any role to play in it, including you Carl who enabled me to start this Campaign against Killer Koh and this Nazi College of Law by appearing on your TV show.

>> While 29 of President Obama's judicial nominees were voted out of committee last week, one is coming under criticism from both the left and right. Legal Times reports that Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) "voiced numerous concerns about [David] Barron for the First Circuit, saying he has advocated for positions 'far outside the mainstream.' Barron, Grassley said, quoting from a New York Times article, participated in crafting the Justice Department legal memo authorizing the use of drones to kill U.S. citizens in other countries. The committee voted 10-8 to approve Barron's nomination."
>>
>> Just after his November nomination, the New York Times noted that Barron "signed two secret memorandums declaring that it would be lawful for the United States to kill Anwar al-Awlaki, a United States citizen suspected of plotting terrorist attacks, if it were not feasible to capture him."
>>
>> FRANCIS BOYLE, fboyle at illinois.edu
>> Boyle is a professor at the University of Illinois College of Law and author of Tackling America’s Toughest Questions. He said today: "Barron co-authored the infamous Justice department opinion authorizing Obama's murder of U.S. citizens. This is a total disgrace. If approved, we will have a murderer and a war criminal sitting on the U.S. First Circuit. ... So here Barron and [his coauthor in the legal opinion Martin] Lederman deliberately and maliciously write a get-out-of-jail-free card for Obama so that he can murder U.S. citizens, which he does. ... Barron is neither fit nor qualified to serve as a Judge on the First Circuit -- a post which would make him a prime candidate for a U.S. Supreme Court seat. ... This is exactly how Bush paid back Jay Bybee [author of legal memos on torture] when he put him on the Ninth Circuit. Obama is worse than Bush in that Obama is a lawyer and knows better."
>>
>> Meanwhile, the trial of the "Hancock 17" peace activists is taking place. The defendants and their allies released a statement: "After awaiting trial for 15 months, the defense case of the Hancock 17 will begin at 5 p.m., Thursday, Jan. 23, continuing on Friday, Jan. 24, in De Witt Town Court, near Syracuse. On Oct. 25, 2012, 17 people were arrested for symbolically blocking the three gates at Hancock National Air Guard Base which is a site where MQ 9 Reaper drones are piloted over Afghanistan. ... They stood in front of the gates with banners and and signs calling for an end to drone warfare and read a citizen's War Crimes Indictment to the base personnel at the gates. They called for an end of attacks on civilians that are illegal under international war.
>>
>> "After almost three hours outside the gates, the protesters were arrested and arraigned on charges of Trespass and Disorderly Conduct. ... The protesters were also issued Orders of Protection for Col. Earl Evans which require them to stay away from the base. Violating the Order carries potential misdemeanor or even felony charges. ...
>>
>> "The defendants' case is supported by former Attorney General Ramsey Clark, Law professor Francis Boyle, Urbana Champagne, University of Illinois, expert on drones and international law."

>> So war criminal, felon and murderer of US citizens Harvard F. Law School’s own Davey Barron—co-felon with Murdering Marty Lederman-- gets his bull-twaddling book reviewed by the Dem’s Own Obama/Clinton Sunday Newspeak Times Book Review. In fairness the Newspeak Times should have asked the Grandfather of Mr. Alwaki’s 16 year old murdered son to comment too. RIP. Why should any of us read a book written by a war criminal and a felon and the murderer of US citizens including a US child? I certainly shall not. I have 3 sons of my own. Davey has too much Muslim Blood on his Hands dripping onto the pages of the book for me to stomach reading it.

>> OBAMA NOMINATES "WAR CRIMINAL"
>> BARRON TO FIRST CIRCUIT COURT
>>
>> By Sherwood Ross
>>
>> David Barron, a Harvard law professor who gave President Obama the green light for his illegal global drone attacks, has been nominated by Obama for a seat on the U.S. First Circuit Court of Appeals.
>>
>> "Barron (co-authored) the infamous Justice department opinion authorizing Obama's murder of U.S. citizens," says distinguished international legal authority Francis Boyle of the University of Illinois, Champaign. "It's a payback."
>>
>> "This is a total disgrace. If approved, we will have a murderer and a war criminal sitting on the U.S. First Circuit," Boyle said. The First District, headquartered in Boston, Mass., includes the states of Massachusetts, Maine, New Hampshire and Rhode Island as well as Puerto Rico.
>>
>> As a result of Barron's opinion, Boyle says, "We know that at least three U.S. citizens were murdered in Yemen, including (Islamic cleric Anwar) Awlaki of Las Cruces, N.M., and his 16-year-old son Abdulrahman al-Awlaki," of Denver, Co., and one other. Still another American citizen was also executed without trial in Pakistan, Boyle said.
>>
>> Barron co-wrote the June, 2010, legal opinion rationalizing the illegal airstrikes as a member of Justice Department's Office of Legal Counsel. He was joined by Martin Lederman, a deputy assistant Attorney General in that office.
>>
>> "So here Barron and Lederman deliberately and maliciously write a get out of jail free card for Obama so that he can murder U.S. citizens, which he does," Boyle says. "Barron is thus an enabler and accessory before the fact to murder and war crimes" and thus a principal in the first degree with Obama. Accordingly, Boyle says, "Barron is neither fit nor qualified to serve as a Judge on the First Circuit…" a post which would make him a prime candidate for a U.S. Supreme Court seat.
>>
>> The Barron memo justifies the murder of U.S. citizens without due process of law, in violation of the Bill of Rights and the Fifth Amendment, Boyle says. The precise wording of Amendment V states "No person shall be held to answer for a capital or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury…nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law…"
>>
>> If Obama's nomination is approved, Boyle says, "we will have a murderer and war criminal sitting on the U.S. First Circuit and perhaps some day on the U.S. Supreme Court."
>>
>> According to the impartial Bureau of Investigative Journalism, London, since 2004 the total number of CIA drone strikes in Pakistan is 381, 330 of them launched by President Obama. BIJ gives the following figures for the period:
>>
>> Total killed: 2,537-3,646
>> Civilians killed: 416-951
>> Children killed: 168-200
>> Injured: 1,128-1,557
