Jackson's name belongs on federal courthouse I must object to the apparent preference of Gen. William Donovan over Justice Robert Jackson in the naming of the new federal courthouse. Donovan may be a military icon, but his influence and achievement in terms of the effect on our country pales in comparison to those of Jackson. He was the principal mover most responsible for the creation and impact of the Nuremberg trials, which recorded for all time the colossal guilt and murders that stained the world.
BERLIN - The courthouse in Nuremberg where senior Nazis faced trial for war crimes will open as a museum and visitor attraction next month, officials said Monday.

NUREMBERG, Germany - In Courtroom 600 of the Nuremberg Palace of Justice, a 62-year-old homeopathic healer is on trial for the death of a patient - an ordinary case on an ordinary day in a Germany rebuilt from the wreckage of World War II as a free society built on humane law.

Avatars of Julius Streicher" doesn't sound quite sober - hardly anyone recognizes his name today, but Streicher's spirit is alive and well in [Glenn Beck], [Ann Coulter] and [Rush Limbaugh].
