WSJLAWBLOG – Spat Between Mississippi AG, Alabama Federal Judge Heats Up
Spat Between Mississippi AG, Alabama Federal Judge Heats Up We haven’t waded into the Dickie Scruggs story in some time, partly because the bigtime drama has wrapped, as they say in Tinseltown.

FOLO – Atty General Hood fires back at Judge Acker. One bullet is a blank
Atty General Hood fires back at Judge Acker.

FOLO – A Strange Aspect of Judge Acker’s Order
A Strange Aspect of Judge Acker’s Order There was honest disagreement among lawyers I spoke to about Vitter’s decision. I thought it moderately persuasive. Lawyers I respected thought it wrong.
