FOLO – The Money Store and Dickie Scruggs
The Money Store and Dickie Scruggs Eventually, lawyers all over Mississippi had Money Store clients. In the Southern District of federal court, most of these lawsuits hit, as I say, in 2002-3. But the owner of The Money Store was Wachovia Bank (which had ended up with it via mergers, and whose deep pockets —…

ICLAWBLOG – Scruggs Nation, March 11: imagining straws to grasp at
Scruggs Nation, March 11: imagining straws to grasp at To borrow a metaphor I used in a recent court brief, the arguments in Zach’s motion and reply brief do not appear to be merely grasping at straws, they seem to be imagining straws to grasp at.

ICLAWBLOG – Scruggs Nation, March 10
Scruggs Nation, March 10 The Beck story does an excellent job of cataloging some of Scruggs’ failures, and it’s ultimate conclusion seems to be that Scruggs is an idealistic guy with often poor judgment in case selection who scored big because of a few lucky confluences of events. If his reputation was ever deserved, the…

DeSoto dominates the numbers for GOP 1st District
The Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal Editorial, 3/9/8 If you want numbers that define the contest in Tuesday’s Republican primary for the 1st Congressional District seat, try these: 18,329 to 2,727. That’s the comparison of the turnout in the 2007 GOP primary for state and county offices in DeSoto and Lee counties. DeSoto County’s population has…

Capitol plays hot potato with illegal immigration
The Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal, 3/9/8 The leadership team of House Speaker Billy McCoy, D-Rienzi, surprised many last week by passing what was described as “the marquee” piece of Lt. Gov. Phil Bryant’s anti-illegal immigration legislation. Not only did the House pass the legislation, it did so with calculated speed, approving it in committee one…

3 public-records requests met with resistance
The Clarion-Ledger, 3/10/8 Despite a weeklong public awareness campaign by newspapers across the state last month, attempts to pierce Mississippi’s official veil of secrecy continue to be a hit-and-miss endeavor.

GOP Pork, Imperiled By McCain
The Washington Post, 3/10/8 The congressional Republican establishment, with its charade of pretending to crack down on budget earmarks while in fact preserving its addiction to pork, faces embarrassment this week when the Democratic-designed budget is brought to the Senate floor. The GOP’s presumptive presidential nominee, Sen. John McCain, is an uncompromising pork buster with…

Go vote!: Tuesday, Mississippians get their say
The Clarion-Ledger, 3/10/8 These are heady days for Mississippi voters.

Candidates have recovery plans
The Sun Herald, 3/9/8 Republican nominee John McCain is the only candidate who has visited the Mississippi Coast since Hurricane Katrina, but the Democratic contenders have turned their attention here in preparation for a competitive primary on Tuesday.

Rhetoric ignores Miss.
The Clarion-Ledger Editorial, 3/9/8 Virtually every Republican candidate for the vacant 3rd Congressional seat sounds like he was running to represent the needs of some state other than Mississippi, the nation’s poorest state, whose coastal area still lies prostrate from history’s worst natural disaster in 2005. Most irksome is the rhetoric of the leading GOP…

FOLO – This week in Scruggs
This week in Scruggs There are two formal dates of importance in U.S. v. Scruggs: Friday, March 14th: Motions hearing and pretrial conference. Monday, March 17th: Plea deadline. The only pending motion is the motion to dismiss filed by Zach Scruggs. I do not think resolution of that motion will be driving events or occupying…
