You don’t appear to know much about S.A. law or S.A either. Or is it that you’re such a partisan ideological hack that you know about these things & choose to skew what you report to make Goldstone & the ANC look as evil as possible. At any rate, yr views are clearly far right wing & should be treated w. some skepticism.

I’m frankly unwilling to take your unsubstantiated word for anything inculding Goldstone’s record. You merely make value judgements & provide no proof or even serious argument.

“…Likely knows next to nothing about South African law.”
You know nothing about SA law.
Beyond the death penalty, Goldstone upheld and also handed out convocations on number of other serious racial laws.
Try looking up his not so great history here in South Africa. His dubious findings during the Goldstone commission here in South Africa. He found that the ANC was virtually blameless for the death of thousands of their black opponent during the spiral of violence following Mandela’s release.
Of course Mandela allowed him to stay on as a judge. Goldstone proved during apartheid and then when the tables turned that he is a willing servant to whoever will pay his cheque.

Uncle Joe, Actually, there were many liberal Afrikaners like Goldstone who accepted appointments to the bench in the 1970's and 1980s in the hopes that they would push South Africa in the direction towards constitutional democracy. And the fact is that Goldstone did issue several rulings as a Justice that considerably undermined the Apartheid regime, not to mention his work chairing the Commission on Public Violence and Intimidation from 1991-1994 that exposed the use of death squads by F.W. DeKlerk. Read these pieces about Goldstone's work as Justice before you condemn him for being a sell-out to apartheid. Frankly, I think the judgment of Nelson Mandela regarding Goldstone carries a lot more weight in this area than Alan Dershowitz' or Danny Ayalon's
