Jackson Jambalaya

nominated by Clinton in 1995

Atlas Shrugged. The irony is rich.

Bachelor's in Math from Tufts. NYU. Southern District of NY. Oy vey. This will be interesting. I'm sure she is enchanted by the idea of the Texas Tea Party disenfranchising blacks in Mississippi in an already decided election. Or, in their interesting perspective on proof and math. Or lack thereof. They got a "non -GOP "Establishment" Judge, didn't they?? Watch out what you ask for, they say.

She holds a Bachelor of Science degree from Tufts University (1971), magna cum
laude (math) in 1991 Magna cum laude in math. Judge: Explain to me again how 192 equals 32. I'm not following you.

Let's think about this - with McDaniel's past comments on women and then his ties to the Klan. A female Federal Judge and Jewish at that. Can't get any better!

Yeah, but think of this angle: she's a Texas judge so those "out of state Texas lawyers" might have a leg up now.

After all, they were roundly criticized for not knowing anything about MS Southern District judges - now they're playing on their home turf.

She can count higher than they can deep in the piney woods, and add and subtract. Ooh, that's bad for the Kool-Aid drinkers.

What could go wrong with their strategy? Let's see. Judge Atlas was 15 years old, living in New York City, reading about Mickey Schwerner, Michael Goodman, and James Chaney being murdered in Neshoba County for trying to register blacks to vote. 50 years later, a candidate is outraged that blacks crossover voted like he has done in the past. And that she should overturn the election?

Being from TX may be their only "leg up". That has got to be one of the most poorly written motions I've ever read- and I haven't read a lot, but it still sucks.

My take: Wallace still has a field day in court if it gets there.

Y'all are missing a critical point here. This ceased being about winning an election on June 24. Since then, it's been a PR campaign by a guy bent on becoming a conservative political celebrity like Palin, Santorum, et al. He needs to perpetuate the narrative that casts him as a martyr. It's the politics of victimization, it's simply being played intraparty.

This is a perfect draw for him because he can tell his minions how the deck was stacked against him -- yet again -- and how the judge is just like Cochran and all the other establishment-types who have lost touch with the common man, blah, blah, blah. Win and he gets a shot at another election. Lose and he's a conservative victim. He'll take either one.

There will be no end to this as long as the minions let McDaniel do their thinking for them. That includes the elected officials that continue to follow this pied piper. (Speaking of, can anyone confirm whether Melanie Sojourner is still on McDaniel's, ahem, "staff" as rumored?)

12:49
there has certainly been rumors about her and the staff!

Tomorrow is a big day for the Kool-Aid crowd. Either concede to avoid Rules 11 and Rule 9 MRCP risks for the attorneys, or drink more gulp of Kool-Aid and go all the way with Chris. Here's the word for those unfamiliar with it in the piney woods: de·noue·ment [dey-noo-mahn]

True the Vote is the plaintiff, not McDaniel. How is this lawsuit about McDaniel?

Can someone kindly fill me in on the Melanie Sojourner thing?

There will be no end to this as long as the minions let McDaniel do their thinking for them.

Versus the minions who let Mississippi's "owner" Haley Barbour do their thinking for them?

Rumor is a petition was filed yesterday in Jones County? Can anybody verify? I've heard at the courthouse in Ellisville.

That was funny. I can't approve the comment but that was funny.

Oh how the worm turns. So, good Republicans, tell me: how many illegal votes are acceptable? We used to argue that NO illegal votes are acceptable. It seems the Republican mainstream in general, and the Cochranites specifically, are now changing their tune about that. As long as the illegal votes have a racial component we are supposed to forgive them and let the election stand.

Of course. By all means. Let's not worry whether the election was won fair and square. Let's just proclaim it as such and brand the "loser" as a whiner.

Look, somebody just tell me how much of my paycheck I can keep and declare the oligarchy. Let's stop the farce of pretending we still have fair and honest elections.

We have fair elections. Unlike you, I'm sure, they just aren't perfect.

Mississippi elections have had huge errors in the past. In the 2000 general 11% of the votes for President in Sunflower County were not counted. In the 1996 general DeSoto Cointy had 5,000 more votes for President than ballots cast. In 1992 More than 7,000 votes for President in Harrison County were not counted. Those were all punch card or cenral scanner problems when voters mistakenly voted twice for President. In Sunflower and Harrison the votes were nullified but in DeSoto they just counted both votes.
