Senators’ votes shameful

Sun., March 16, 2014

Isn’t it interesting that both of our senators, Patty Murray and Maria Cantwell, voted to confirm Debo Adegbile for the Department of Justice?

Here is a man who not only represented a convicted murderer of a police officer (who shot the officer in the back and then in the face) but advocated for his release. Shame on our two senators.

By the way, not a word in the March 6 Spokesman-Review article about how Murray and Cantwell voted.
