Best Case Against Limiting Voting Rights From First Black Navy SEAL,



Published on Jul 24, 2013
Robert Plumber, a Korean War Vet who was one of the first African-American Navy UDT divers (AKA Frogmen, the precursors to the US Navy SEALs), talks about the importance of defending Voting Rights after being arrested with Rev. Barber and dozens of others at the 12th Moral Monday action in Raleigh, NC. Plumber, a veteran of the Civil Rights Movement who was arrested previously with Dr. Martin Luther King, spoke to us outside of the Wake County Jail immediately following his arrest on July 22, 2013.

and will do everything he can to undo progress in this country. I think John Roberts is one of the worst human beings on the earth because he is just as ideological as Scalia or Alito, but he knows how to mask it and shoot for the strategic wins of eroding individual rights and accruing more power to the already powerful.

In other words, he is an enabler of the destruction of our free democracy. Will be ironic if he's one of the first ones strung up by an overreaching executive in the future.
