REVIEW OLD FEDERAL/STATE CIVIL RIGHTS CASES FOR BIAS
REVIEW OLD FEDERAL/STATE CIVIL RIGHTS CASES FOR BIAS
How wonderful it would be if all wrongly decided civil rights cases in federal or state court were also subject to the same or similar review or renewed scrutiny as wrongly decided criminal cases in both courts have finally, recently begun to undergo from the past!
The exact, same injustices and discrimination operative in one class of cases were also operative in the other. Both also resulted in actual "injury" being present as well, albeit monetary, in the civil rights cases context.
If only Congress would see fit to fund this review and the Supreme Court would sign off, thousands, maybe tens of thousands of hard working, non-criminal black people would be helped financially, their attorneys, and their too long-suffering families would also be commensurately enriched!
And justice would prevail!
