As U.S. Attorney for Alabama, he brought to justice two of the terrorists who blew up the Baptist Church in Birmingham in 1963. I'm sure that with the passage of time, these murderers thought they'd gotten away with it, and who could have blamed them? It was an old case, and this was Alabama. And then along came Jones, as the song goes.

I don't know what the future holds for Doug Jones, but I'll be very happy if, for the next three years, he demonstrates to the people of Alabama what a dedicated and capable public servant can do for them instead of to them.
