THE ROBING ROOM

Obama and Durbin wanted to appoint a black to the district court. That they chose Ellis and tried to pass her off as black is offensive to both black people and practicing lawyers generally, because she is an intellectual lightweight and not the hardest worker in the northern district of illinois. Her knowledge of the law is incredibly limited. But at least she is marginally smarter than Virginia Kendall -- the court jester of the NDIL.
