The Clown returns for an encore performance.
The Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance suspended then-Grenada Municipal Court Judge Carlos Moore from the bench for six years and fined him $6,000. The attorney refused to take his butt-whupping* and appealed the decision to the Mississippi Supreme Court. The Court said ok, let's have some fun.
Attorney Terris Harris represents Mr. Moore.
Earlier post on sanctions.
* The term "butt-whupping" was used as a rhetorical device and should not be construed as a threat, act of intimidation, or reference to Jim Crow or slavery. Mr. Moore has shown a certain sensitivity to normal phrases or words from time to time so the disclaimer is somewhat necessary.

How is this guy still a member of the bar?
My popcorn is ready. Never underestimate a litigous brainlets ability to go after his detractors.
Carlos' race card is dog-eared.
@1:31 because the Bar only disbars one of their own members if they get publicly shamed for their failure. If it doesn't make the news that an attorney convicted of a felony hasn't been disbarred, the Bar just lets it slide.
Apparently our Supreme Court is stuck in the 1900s technologically speaking. Is that any surprise?
Photocopy this notice and sign it and send it back. And the letter has clearly been Xeroxed a million times already.
Photocopy. Seriously?
I guess you, 2:50, are unaware that the medical, legal, and real estate industries use faxes still. They are more secure, are available without an Internet connection, and allow transmission of large packets of paper most easily.
Then, you can more easily and quickly get working on that hard copy, store it rapidly for retrieval even if the power is out or you don't have the luxury of doom scrolling all day in Mom's basement, and you have a paper trail.
But, hey, we'll let you transmit the all digital ballots in November. No worries, right?
False 2:50. An attorney who is convicted of a felony is grounds for automatic disbarment by the Mississippi Bar. Generally the Counsel for the Bar awaits conviction of the member of a felony before they act.
If you know of an instance when this has not been correct, please do-tell.
Please keep us informed if the oral argument route is selected. I'll make time on 7/23 to watch that thrashing.
" If it doesn't make the news that an attorney convicted of a felony hasn't been disbarred, the Bar just lets it slide."
Please cite an example.
This OA should be good! The only way it could be better is if The Clown was pro se.
@1:31 PM - This is Mississippi. The bar is set very low. (See what I did there?)

Well, yes those industries use them, but no they are not secure. Far from it. Anyone tapping the line would have direct access to what they're sending. No encryption.
If this were Facebook instead of a Blog, you'd be in jail for using the phrase 'butt whuppin'. Those goon-moderators with purple hair and nipple rings are real sensitive about what they call 'inciting violence'.
4:37 is right. Anyone still communicating in any form with a fax machine needs to retire. Well, needed to retire, about 10 years ago.
"Just the fax, ma'am."
3:05, of course there will be a JJ poster who defends faxes and photocopies and forms that have been xeroxed a million times. You be you boomer.
When you join us in the 21st century get somebody to tell you how to send perfect pdf scans from your phone. And yes, works when the power is out.
3:05, my doctor nor real estate agent nor my lawyer communicates with me via fax. If yours do, well…..
love the disclaimer, Kingfish.
Every generation seems to have their own group of snot nosed asses.
"* The term "butt-whupping" was used as a rhetorical device and should not be construed as a threat, act of intimidation, or reference to Jim Crow or slavery."
Smart move KF. He likely has free time and might choose to use it against a member of the fourth estate. Those of us who know you well and admire your frankness appreciate the lengths needed to assure you remain free from time wasting litigation. Keep on keeping on KF.
@ 9:50 - Several years ago when a hijacked small plane was circling (was it) Tupelo?, threatening to crash into Wal-Mart, I posted on Facebook that the military should shoot the plane down. I got 30 days in the hole for inciting violence.
Another 30 days for suggesting radicals who block public streets need a 'butt whuppin'. Again, inciting violence.
Hell, I even got 60 days for quoting LBJ's comment about ensuring a certain group's vote for the next hundred years.
Thank God those Marxists don't control blogs. The radar here is bad enough.
it has taken 15 years to get something done about this guy. lets hope the supreme court doesnt chicken out like all the rest have.
Well @3:05pm, that was quite a bit-off topic, and evidence of why this state is still living in the past, and will move forward at a snail’s pace.
Same Supreme Court that disregarded the will of the people because of a loophole.
"3:05, my doctor nor real estate agent nor my lawyer communicates with me via fax. If yours do, well…."
Gee, I'm a doctor (can't speak for lawyers or real estate brokers) but any prescription I write for a controlled substance will not be filled without a "wet ink" signature - i.e., not a photocopy or a fax.
Any non-narcotic Rx I can do over the phone.

Don't underestimate Justice Kitchens ability ro fuck up what should be an easy decision.
Encore? This is the curtain call.
11:23, ask one of the young nurses what a PDF is.
And seriously, you fax the scripts to the pharmacy yourself? Seems awfully inefficient.
With his track record most attorneys would be embarrassed and quietly go about their business. Not this guy or his counsel. Come July we will get to see what the term "shameless" means.
