The artwork of St. Andrew's Cathedral
St. Andrew's Cathedral. It sits on Capitol Street, often ignored for six days of the week and only remembered by a few hundred on the seventh day. No surprise as we often take what is around is for granted. Jackson Jambalaya decided to present St. Andrew's Cathredal to you as a work of art in and of itself. Local photographer Rick Guy was commissioned to shoot pictures of the cathedral. Many thanks to the St. Andrew's staff for their cooperation. A special thanks goes to Buddy Huff for letting Rick shoot from the top of the Trustmark building. Twenty-six pictures are presented below. Please click on a picture to see a larger version. The building opened in 1903. The architecture, the stained glass windows, and figurines present the wonders of an age long past. Enjoy.

State Senator (R-House of Seale) and Chris McDaniel campaign manager Melanie Sojourner told the Natchez Democrat she did not turn in her campaign finance report because her home suffered major tornado damage last September.

Was the Judge doing a little campaignin'?
Looks like then-Jackson Municipal Court Judge June Hardwick engaged in a little bit of campaigning for Octavian while she sat on the bench:

Scenes from a courtroom.
Judge Atlas did not issue a ruling today on the request for a preliminary injunction. I literally just got out of the courtroom. A post will be written later tonight. However, here are the promised sketches. Jackson Jambalaya and WLBT commissioned local artist Bill Wilson to draw several sketches of the proceedings as they took place today. Many thanks to Judge Atlas for giving us permission.
Supremes to McDaniel: Denied!!!
The Mississippi Supreme Court just issued the following order:
Winfield show cause hearing in the Miss.S.Ct. today at 10:00
Today is the second show cause hearing in the case of Vicksburg Healthcare, LLC d/b/a River Region Health System v. Clara Dees. As JJ reported last week, Dees' lawyer Michael Winfield was summoned for a show cause hearing on April 30, 2014, to explain why his brief had not been timely filed despite the many extensions that had been granted. At 1:30, when the hearing was to start, Winfield was not there. Time passed. Apparently the clerk was dispatched to contact Mr. Winfield and he had traveled to Canton for a last minute meeting with a client. When Winfield finally put in an appearance, he explained that he had forgotten about the show cause hearing. As the hearing progressed, things just got worse.

I will be covering the True the Vote hearing this morning in federal court. That means no cellphones. That also means I won't be able to approve comments for a couple of hours. Comment away. Just realize they won't appear for awhile. Thanks.

McDaniel fires back at Harrison County
Chris McDaniel filed a response to Harrison County's response to his motion for reconsideration for the denial of his petition for a writ of mandamus against Harrison County. Did you get all that? Don't have time to write about this filing but it is posted below. One interesting quote:
You can't make this up.
This is not liberal media bias. This is not being in the tank for someone. Sometimes opportunities for artistic and literary mischief are handed to you on a gold platter- with valet service. Marshall Ramsey, Chris McDaniel, and comic books. A potent combination.
Sign your child up for free books.
That means you, if your child is under the age of five years old. This is a re-post from May about a program that provides one free book a month to such children. There is no excuse for not taking advantage of this opportunity. The registration form is posted below.
Crime, crime, crime. What to do about crime.
Mayor Tony Yarber hosted a town hall forum on crime last week at the Jackson Medical Mall. Here is the complete video as well as some interesting video clips.
Holocaust denial & young skulls full of mush
A California school generated much controversy several months ago when students were assigned the task of writing a paper discussing whether the Holocaust even occurred. The district apologized profusely and of course everyone knows it happened. Right? Well, it looks like some students took the assignment seriously and now question whether the Holocaust even happened.

And Harrison & Rankin fire back at McDaniel
The Harrison County Circuit Clerk and Rankin County attorney both fired epistle missiles at the McDaniel campaign. Needless to say, they are both colorful in nature.
True the Vote gets a shot at the title.
It looks like we will have a hearing in federal court this week after all regarding the True the Vote lawsuit against the Secretary of State AND the Republican Party of Mississippi. PACER states:
McDaniel asks Supreme Court for another swing.
State Senator Chris McDaniel asked the Supreme Court to reconsider its denial of his petition for a writ of mandamus against Harrison County last week. He filed the petition against Harrison County after the Circuit Clerk said he must pay for copies of the "poll books" that redacted date of birth information for registered voters. The plaintiff made the following points:

A lesson in how not to practice law
Video is posted below. Worth watching.
Blowing off the Supreme Court is never a good idea. Vicksburg attorney Michael Winfield found out how true that little fact is when he decided to ignore a Mississippi Supreme Court order to show up and explain why the court should not discipline him. Mr. Winfield is the brother of the former Vicksburg Mayor and convict Paul Winfield. The court ordered Mr. Winfield to appear on April 30 and explain why he should not be held in contempt of court. Mr. Winfield would not have appeared in court if the clerk had not called him on order from the Supremes. In other words, he made the justices track him down. Not very smart. The hearing was supposed to start at 1:30. He finally appeared after 2:00. The wayward lawyer claimed he received the notice but didn't put it on his calendar. Needless to say, the justices were none too amused with his excuses as is evident in the video below.
Melanie Sojourner fined $500 for failure to file campaign finance report
Secretary of State Eggbert Hosemann issued a $500 fine against State Senator Melanie Sojourner for failure to file her 2013 campaign finance report. State law requires legislators to file annual campaign finance reports by January 31. JJ obtained notices to the State Senator through a public records request. They are posted below. The Secretary of State's office said she was the only elected official who had not filed the required report.
