Tompkins a Superb Choice for U.S. Attorney
Even a broken clock gets it right twice a day. President Obama has made a superb choice in his nomination of Charlotte prosecutor Anne Tompkins (D). Tompkins has a long record of being tough on crime, something you don’t see from a lot of prosecutors and district attorneys whether in Mecklenburg County or throughout the state of North Carolina.
Tompkins’ credentials are impeccable, having worked as part of the tribunal in Baghdad that prosecuted Saddam Hussein and successfully winning a death sentence for serial killer Henry Louis Wallace. Ironically, Tompkins worked under the weak and incompetent Mecklenburg DA Peter Gilchrist and appears to be the night to his day, which gives her an A+ in my book.
Hopefully, she will continue the same judicial philosophy in her capacity as U.S. Attorney for the western North Carolina.
