It's only through the equally blurry social construction of race that any of these civilizational boundaries make sense. And because the dominant social construction of race emerged in Europe and the US to justify colonialism, those racial hierarchies are embedded in our notions of civilization.

Whoops, forgot to say that the former ADA was named Roger King.

Former Philadelphia ADA, who was responsible for like 20% of PA death row penalties, had at least 7 murder convictions overturned but never faced bar penalties, as far as I know. And his boss Lynne Abraham never did, either.
