ICLAWBLOG Stars in stripes: Dickie Scruggs reports to prison
Stars in stripes: Dickie Scruggs reports to prison I got a chuckle out of the headline and lede of this Associated Press story: “Anti-tobacco lawyer Dickie Scruggs has reported to a federal prison in eastern Kentucky.” Anti-tobacco lawyer?

Trying to Gauge the ‘Obama Effect’ in Senate and House Races
Trying to Gauge the ‘Obama Effect’ in Senate and House Races But the size of Obama’s coattails, if any, is hard to gauge. Take, for example, Mississippi.
