Civil Right Groups Want Boggs Up nd Out

This article is about Civil Rights groups speaking out and acting against the nomination of  court of appeal Judge Micheal Boggs. The civil rights groups are adiment about not allowing Boggs his seat on the bench. In 2001 Boggs voted to keep the confederate represented flag also known as Georgia's original state flag. This shows to the people that he is for the confederacy ways and is not about making a Georgia a better place for all. Civil Right Groups have made attempts to the White House to see that Boggs does not become a nominees to the federal bench in Georgia. I believe that the civil right group are doing the right thing in speaking up for this cause because that vote right there could have made an impression on a lot of African American Georgians that could not put their trust in Boggs knowing he is a judge and state leader for Georgia. I believe that the public's opinion should be taken into consideration because with him on the federal bench in Georgia this would make citizens uncomfortable with his decision making. I think that if these Civil Rights gropus took this time out to contact the White House then this was a heavy issue in their opinion.

  1. Your standpoint is clear and strong. Make sure you do thorough research on Bogg's past opinions and the contexts in which he gave his legal opinions, tie that into a larger historical background, and explain (civilly) why he should not be nominated.
