RE: Doug Jones defended man with ties to KKK, Holocaust deniers
As an attorney, I would not attack any other attorney based on clients that he may have represented. To do so misunderstands greatly how our legal system works.
I could not vote for Moore, nor for Jones, if I still lived and voted in Alabama. But I wouldn't hold this against Jones. I've represented clients whose views I did not accept or support. So has most every other lawyer.

Was he a public defender that was compelled to take the case or did he take the guy's money?

Not stated in the article, I don't believe. I doubt it was a public defender case. But either way, I wouldn't put much stock in it. Attorneys routinely represent clients with whom they disagree, and representation does not imply agreement. I have a friend who was a former law partner with Jones. I'll see if he knows.

The point is you cant play it both ways. You cant claim moral high ground for prosecuting the kkk without also being equally evil for defending the kkk.
I will under no circumstances vote for Doug Jones.

it's absolutely fair game. jones is running hard on prosecuting the KKK; its central to his campaign. the fact that he defended that same group of miserable racist bastards is absolutely relevant.
it may make lawyers uncomfortable when they are held accountable for their records, but it's the way the rest of the world works. no exceptions.

that's because it's an obvious forgery.
gloria allred is a walking, talking reason why, when the revolution comes, lawyers will be first against the wall.

Doug Jones was the prosecutor when he prosecuted the Klan bombers
Doug Jones was an attorney representing a client when he represented others.
In both cases, he did his job.

If he were a man of morals and against the KKK as his campaign says ad nauseum, then he wouldn't have accepted them as clients. It's call hypocrisy.
Literally, this is all is read/hear/see about him on his ads.
