GOP candidates tout ability to beat Clinton
USA Today, 12/16/7 The Republican’s independent streak appeals to a wide range of voters, making him the best GOP choice to battle Democratic front-runner Hillary Rodham Clinton, he and supporters say. Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani makes the same claim. His potential to capture mainstream votes from Democrats has led many GOP conservatives to…

Senate to settle election dispute
The Clarion-Ledger, 12/16/7 When the Mississippi Legislature convenes next month, Canton Alderman Kenny Wayne Jones plans to fill a seat he narrowly captured from Sen. Joseph Thomas of Yazoo City.

Bryant picks Hewes as president pro tem
The Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal, 12/15/7 Lt. Gov.-elect Phil Bryant has tabbed Billy Hewes, R-Gulfport, as his choice for Senate president pro tem.

Women hitting political glass ceiling in Miss.
The Sun Herald, 12/15/7 Mississippi shares the dubious distinction with Iowa of never sending a woman to Congress or electing one as governor – something outgoing Republican Lt. Gov. Amy Tuck could possibly have changed. Mississippi will have two vacancies in Congress now that powerful U.S. Sen. Trent Lott and U.S. Rep. Chip Pickering, both…

FOLO – But why, Dickie?
But why, Dickie? The most fascinating question, the one at the heart of U.S. v. Scruggs, is really psychological rather than legal or financial. Rossmiller repeats the phrasing of it featured in folo-friend Walter Olson’s article for the Wall Street Journal yesterday: “It just boggles the mind,” said one Mississippi trial lawyer quoted in the…

OVERLAWYERED – Scruggs indictment XI
Scruggs indictment XI The assignment of steady continuing payments to Blake over the life of the tobacco settlement distinctly resembles a gesture toward diverting a share of the tobacco proceeds (a contingency share, as it were) to reward and incentivize Blake, or perhaps Blake-and-others-too, to work for the success of the deal. [corrected 12:24 on…

ICLAWBLOG – Scruggs Nation, Day 17: Jones v. Scruggs revisited
Scruggs Nation, Day 17: Jones v. Scruggs revisited But back to the central point of today: why would he do it? What Jones and Funderburg appear to be driving at is that acting in this way is a habit, a method of doing business. Seen in this light, the alleged bribery scheme is just an…

Famed attorney told to answer questions about leaked Katrina documents
Famed attorney told to answer questions about leaked Katrina documents A federal judge has ruled that Scruggs and his son and law partner, Zach, can be questioned under oath about their handling of leaked documents in a Hurricane Katrina insurance case.

As If On Cue, the CL Carries Water for Speekah Billy McCoy
The most unpardonable journalistic sin is plagarism. The second is burying the lead. Today, the CL Editorial Board may have to beg for forgiveness in the second department. Today in their Editorial Speaker: McCoy’s the Better Choice, Hampton & Company seem conflicted about their choice. We find no fault in Smith – moreover, we like…

CL – Feds probe Hinds case
Feds probe Hinds case It began in 1994 in Hinds County Circuit Court when Alwyn Luckey sued his two former law partners, Scruggs and Scruggs’ then-law partner, William Roberts Wilson Jr., for what Luckey’s contract called for – 25 percent of the attorney fees from litigation against asbestos manufacturers. Wilson countersued Scruggs for monies he…

SUNHERALD – Dickie Scruggs’ $50 million man
Dickie Scruggs’ $50 million man Blake will earn $50 million, court records show, for clipping newspaper articles and alerting Scruggs to maneuvering in political “cloakrooms,” as Scruggs put it, from Mississippi to Washington. Scruggs managed a transformation of his own over the same two decades, from small-town attorney to polished multi-millionaire. Scruggs also amassed around…
