DOJ cont’d from pg 3
the conservative jurist, Democrats struggled to
unify behind a clear and coherent message to com-
bat the nomination, which could shift the court to
the right for decades.
They’re energized, outraged and ready to fight.
But what, exactly, is their argument to voters?
MoveOn’s Washington director Ben Wikler, who
was among hundreds of liberal activists protesting
outside the Supreme Court, acknowledged Demo-
crats were far from unified behind a simple mes-
sage to rally voters against Trump’s selection.
2016 rather than 2015,
Steven Liffel is list-
ed on 10/6/16 rather
than 12/5/16, and Bil-
ly Simms is listed on
July 27, 2012--one day
before he was actually
shot.
• One duplicate entry
gets the suspect’s
name
completely
wrong,
somehow
listing John Bocock
(10/12/11) as “Kenneth
DeFrees.” It is not
clear whether this and
the four other dupli-
cate entries are there
because it is impos-
sible to delete items
once they are posted.
• At least two incidents
contain no narratives
at all: The 2008 Port-
land shooting of Jason
Spoor says “unknown
reason for shooting
due to date,” and the
2016 Sherwood shoot-
ing of James Tylka
simply states “homi-
cide suspect.”
• While some high-pro-
file cases such as the
Umpqua Community
College shooter (who
reportedly committed
suicide) are included,
others -- such as the
Kavanaugh’s Views of Presidential
Power Drawing Questions
WASHINGTON (AP) — Supreme Court nominee
Brett Kavanaugh’s past writings that a president
should not be distracted by lawsuits and investiga-
tions could become a flashpoint in what’s already
shaping up to be a contentious confirmation battle.
With special counsel Robert Mueller investigat-
ing whether President Donald Trump obstructed
justice, questions about whether a chief executive
can be subpoenaed or indicted could potentially
reach the Supreme Court. Though there’s no indi-
cation at this point that will happen, it’s sure to be
a major topic of questioning at Kavanaugh’s con-
firmation hearing as the Senate weighs whether
to confirm him to replace retiring Justice Anthony
Kennedy.
Democrats opposing Kavanaugh are already
weighing in, saying the past writings — particu-
larly a legal article he wrote on the separation of
powers in 2009 — suggest he would be inclined to
side with Trump.
Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer said
Tuesday that he “seems exactly like the kind of
man President Trump would want on the Supreme
Court if legal issues from the Mueller probe arise.”
deaths of Christopher
Kalonji and Lavoy Fin-
icum in January 2016
are not.
• At least two Portland
incidents are not list-
ed: The death in custo-
dy of Darris Johnson
in July 2011, and the
death of Craig Boehler
in November 2010;
the police say Boehler
died of smoke inhala-
tion rather than their
bullets.
• The narrative for the
Portland Police shoot-
ing of Kelly Swobo-
da lists the “crime
reason” as “warrant
service,” even though
they were looking for
a suspicious person
and did not have a
warrant.
• While several sus-
pects are listed as
being “Black or Afri-
can American,” none
(including Santiago
Cisneros, shot in Port-
land in 2013) are listed
as Latino.

Review
cont’d from pg 5
willing to wait to be paid,
and even gave his neph-
ew a car for free.
Cash has been unem-
ployed, but it isn’t for a
lack of trying. His luck
changes when, despite
being caught lying on
his resume’ during a
job interview, he’s hired
anyway because the in-
terviewer admired his
ingenuity. The hope is
that he’d bring the same
ambition to his entry lev-
el gig as a telemarketer.
It’s impressed upon
Cash during his train-
ing to “stick to the
script,” if he wants to
succeed. Plus, he gets
a valuable tip from an
African American col-
league (Danny Glover)
in the neighboring cu-
bicle, namely: “Use your
White voice.”
Between dropping his
Black accent and follow-
ing the company’s guide-
lines, Cash earns a covet-
ed promotion to “power
caller.” Suddenly, he’s
making enough money
to pay off Uncle Sergio,
buy a new car and move
into a fancy flat in an up-
scale neighborhood.
Unfortunately,
the
raise proves to be a
mixed blessing for Cash.
First, it creates tension
between him and the
buddies he left behind
on the floor of the crowd-
ed call center, since
they’re still making min-
imum wage and are in
the midst of organizing
a union over the objec-
tions of management.
And then his politically
active performance art-
ist girlfriend is disap-
pointed when he crosses
the picket line and dubs
him a “scab.”
Thus unfolds “Sor-
ry to Bother You,” a
thought-provoking so-
cial satire marking the
scriptwriting and di-
rectorial debut of Boots
Riley. If the name rings
a bell, that’s because
he’s better known as the
founder of the radical
hip hop group, The Coup,
as well as one of the most
dynamic leaders of the
Occupy Oakland Move-
ment kickstarted back in
2011.
The film certainly re-
flects Boots’ far-left lean-
ings, but is clever and
entertaining
enough
to recommend even to
members of the 1 per-
cent!
