Jackson Jambalaya

I need to figure out that Scribd thing.

So 3 justices claim the 20 day deadline doesn't exist, and 3 say it does.

King, Waller and Kitchens voted to dismiss the appeal based upon the 20 day deadline.

Randolph disagreed that the 20 day deadline applied, but wrote separately to say that the appeal should be dismissed based upon the unenforcibility of the cross-over voting prohibition.

Coleman and Lamar held that the appeal should be reinstated, because the 20 day deadline does not exist.

Dickinson, Chandler, and Pierce did not participate.

JPH: Yep. Looks to me like our law schools need to make statutory interpretation a required class.

A somewhat unusual decision. 3 votes clearly to dismiss, 1 kinda vote to dismiss, 2 votes to reinstate and 3 did not participate at all. By a vote of 3-1-2-3....

It sure as heck exists now. Two Supreme Court cases say it does.

None of this matters, none of it. Except it's all over. Now, you 2 or 3 thousand super weird people go crawl back under pile of walmart bags and leave us alone. We've got enough challenges as it is.

I think page 14, #28 is where he lost it. Still reading.

for just another 50 we can keep up the fight and go to the federal court!

I'm pretty sure the underlying reason for the result is the mess that would result if they reversed it.

This ruling should give Melanie time to work up and mail in her overdue report UNLESS she files suit arguing that no deadline exists.

The matter of the 20 day deadline is not settled.

If only we had someone in DC willing to fight CD has.

Activist supreme court judges! All of whom, by the way, were appointed by Boss Hogg himself! Let's take the fight to the Federal Courts now where we have a chance. This was just round one.

The martyrdom of McDaniel continues. Since he didn't win there must be lots of conspiracy and corruption at work.

Earlier this week he endorsed his first candidate in a state other than his own, that state being Louisiana. And he still has a big bus.

Perfect. Kook radio has its next star and there's finally a male version of Palin.

A Federal court challenge would take years. It'd be time for another election before the Supreme Court ruled on it. Nothing but knuckleheads in the McDaniel camp.

6:37, you're trolling, right?

Oh my Lord- please tell me that's sarcasm at 6:37. Just please. For the love of all things holy- go away, Chris McDaniel. Tired of his nonsense, tired of seeing Mitch act like he knows anything about what he's doing, tired of the sheeple still spouting the nonsense after a plethora of findings should tell one with any sense this guy has nothing of what he says. These people have been absolute and complete assholes that are not at all worried about the will of the people as they espouse.

Thank God the football is good this year.

The court has ruled, well, sort of anyway. This just proves the fact that Mississippi has some of the best judges that money can buy. Haley's money!
Lets see now... 3 voted to dismiss over the 20 day thing which no longer exists...one voted to dismiss for a reason having nothing to do with the appeal. (maybe just because he wanted to)..3 didn't ring in on the appeal at all and 2 were honest men who could not be swayed from upholding the law. We here in the magnolia state are in a sorry state of affairs when it comes to our judiciary.

Maybe Joel Bomgar can win a state Rep seat and RISE UP FROM THE ASHES, in Madison County, an angry and defeated Tea Party? LOL

Joel who to do what? Tell me he isn't one of them?

10:05, I'm sure Ann Lamar appreciates your thinking she's an honest man.

And the rest of your remarks are equally ignorant.

God bless your tea party bleeding hearts.
if migraines could sue, if migraines could sue...

Onto football....
May the best teams win

Oh my! I had hoped for better legal scholarship!
McDaniel's efforts to overturn the primary was unfounded . There were never any grounds for a challenge.

On one news cast, Tyner made yet another bizarre suggestion. He said an appeal to the federal level would have to do with " the right to assembly". Say what?

" The Emperor has no clothes" people.
Discussing clothing fabrics doesn't mean the Emperor is not naked!

Here is the legal bottom line. In a democratic republic, you want to make it easy, not difficult for eligible citizens to vote for the PERSON of their choice. You don't want party domination to drive voting. You want voting to be done without fear of negative personal repercussions so the privacy of how one votes matters. You don't want the process to be overly complex and never ending.
No election involving large numbers of people will ever be perfect. Human error is inevitable. But unless there is deliberate effort to commit fraud by tampering with machines or ballots or fake IDs or preventing people from voting or destroying ballots or stealing ballots or allowing those under 18, convicted felons, or non citizens to vote or citizens to vote repeatedly or the dead to vote, the elections results should stand.
None of that happened here.
McDaniel ,with Tyner and TTV aiding and abetting seem to have forgotten the principles of democracy. Like the communists before them, party loyalty has been their mantra. And, our Supreme Court is apparently so bogged down in legal technicalities or political fear , they can't see the forest for the trees either!

@11:23 One of them? That goofy ass is neck deep in tea party. He is just as desperate as Longwitz to have a title. He tells people he has been reading books for a year about how to campaign!!! BWAH!!!! Only a Yankee would have to read books on how to make friends and influence people. He can give Longwitz some competition as to who can chase down a wapt reporter the fastest!!! LOL

The grateful lawyer's Twitter pic is perfect for him with that quizzical look on his face. After this thing, I wouldn't hire him to represent me in traffic court.

Typical mentality at 10:05- don't bother doing the homework on what you speak of. Just say it a lot and hopefully some people buy in without looking up the facts and/or making an attempt at common sense. You don't know whom is honest nor whom is not, you only see what you want to see. Judge McGehee walked on water until he actually ruled; then he was falling to political pressure and obvious bribes. I bet if you queried the two that said they'd let it continue that they'd probably say they weren't losing any sleep over how this case ended up.

An insufferable lot, you people are. You had more than enough time to show proof of anything, and yet none was shown. There's a reason for that: the truth is quite easy, soif you had it, we would have known. You did not. You need to stop pointing fingers at others and turn it around to yourselves.

Suck it up and quit whining. It's unbecoming and nobody cares to hear it. Vote how you want, I don't even care, and I surely couldn't care less what Chris says about how he will vote.

All these comments here for the 100th time. They are funny and smart each and every time.

McDaniels screwed up his opportunity to hold any major office in the state. He could have taken the loss and would have won the next office he ran for. I am sure he will maintain his current job because obviously all the people in his district are as strange as he is.

"Write dat in blood" KIm Wade

The flaw in your premise is that he cares about future office.

Kingfish: CM is a man who needs public adulation like Longwitz. His quest for power supersedes common sense that would have allowed him to rise to a future higher office. He wants it alright. His insecurity demands it. Joel Bomgar is cut from the same cloth. Goobtards, who were never accepted by their peers who have grown up and now need confirmation that they to can be accepted by society.

Well well, the latest CBS/YouGov poll shows Thad with a 22 point lead with a week to go. Data also shows a majority of those who voted for McDaniel will vote for Cochran with Thad leading 85-6 among Republicans with 9 percent unsure. Fat Lady is warming up.

Mack Daniel is now consigned to the dustbin of history. Chou. Mack may actually have to work for a living from now on. Better get at it.

Data also shows a majority of those who voted for McDaniel will vote for Cochran with Thad leading 85-6 among Republicans with 9 percent unsure.

Show us where the poll specifically identifies McDaniel voters.

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that out unless McDaniel voters aren't 1) Republicans or 2) Conservative. Look at the poll crosstabs. Pretty simple if you know how to read and add and subtract.

I never realized these tea party folks are a weird bunch. I've been skeptical of some of the voting issues in this election as much as the next person, but in no way did Cochran do anything illegal. These people are nuts. O yea... HAIL STATE!

What's hilarious is the guy questioning how one could know how you could identify "McDaniel voters" and in the same thought believe McDaniel can know "40K illegal Democrats" messed his chances up, or believe the numerous polls trying to point to cheating.

As the poster above said, one can pretty easily assume if you're a Republican voter period, you're included- McDaniel or not.
