File this under the "I Didn't Know The Judge Was Black" category! Furthermore, I don't know where I've been lately that I didn't know this! Kudos to Federal Judge Reggie Walton for proving again that Black folks can be the consciouness of our great nation. We've done it before and we will do it again! The following reads, "The Good guy or Hata for June was tough but in the end you have to give the nod to Federal Judge Reggie Walton. The Brother was receiving death threats against his family and challenges to his judicial career via email and phone but he told Scooter Libby that he could not remain free while out on bail and to go directly to jail. It’s not his fault Bush said no, jail is too much and ordered clemency. Many judges would have been intimidated and allowed Libby to go free on bail but not Reggie Walton who stood tall when challenged. Some Black people in America simply do not scare very easy after Jim Crow, Slavery, lynching etc Judge Walton also made Libby pay a fine of $250,000 dollars. Just in case you been under a rock last week. Libby was convicted on March 6 of obstruction of justice, perjury, and making numerous false statements to the FBI." — from Playahata.com

Yeah, that brother did his thing..
Yes, you go my brother judge. Yep, that was a surefire means to clemency for Scooter...having a BROTHER to tell him to go to jail NOW. Yeah right, Bush wasn't having that. Well, peace and blessing and the protection and armor of God to this judge and his family, and to all those who stand in the face of the power structure.
