Capital Defense Weekly continues its commentary on In Re US here. I had termed CDW's commentary "scathing" and CDW explains the problem, in a post which includes this passage:
My "scathing" anger as to this opinion comes from one line, arguably the cornerstone of the opinion, "there is assuredly cause for concern, as this court said six years ago, [in US v. ] Royal, where African American defendants have been indicted for major crimes, and the proportion of blacks who return jury questionnaires is half the percentage to be expected from their presence in the division of the district concerned."
