Mr. Hood: Don’t Leave Justice To The Feds
Current Mississippi Attorney Jim Hood — you may have heard of him despite his best imitation of a church mouse in all of this n has an obligation to the taxpayers of this state to bust up this chummy atmosphere where the best legal minds are manipulating the law to get rich at our expense.
We’re all for good lawyers getting good pay. But when justice can be sold like a foreclosure home on the steps of the local courthouse to the highest bidder, we have destroyed the meaning of that sacred term.
It’s time for Jim Hood to quit hiding in the walls of the sanctuary and walk boldly to the pulpit and cast down these judicial demons. He simply has to get to work fixing this beast. If we can’t trust our judicial system, our democracy is broken.
