Secretary of State Beth Chapman Sued over Candidacy Law

Attorney Jerry Blevins  has sued Alabama Secretary of State Beth Chapman over candidacy rules concerning residency requirements in the 19th Judicial Circuit.  I agree with Jerry, that it's not fair to have to live within the 3 counties that comprise the 19th Judicial Circuit, in order to run for the position of Judgeship.  We could actually bring up other issues of state officials who are serving in certain positions and are not living within their jurisdictions, but I won't address that in this post.  Judge William Shashy is the judge in this particular case at the moment

The 19th Judicial Circuit DOES need an overhaul.  I hope that more attorneys from other counties, will stand up and run against some of the judges that continue to be re-elected in this Judicial Circuit.  TERM LIMITS comes to mind, right now.  http://www.montgomeryadvertiser.com/article/20091110/NEWS01/911100331/1007/rss02

Happy Veterans Day!

We remember our armed forces today, with reverence and respect.  Here is a site, that I have enjoyed, and you might notice the Buddy Finder.  If you know of someone in the military, type in their name, and find them.  It's quite simple and re-unites many military personnel.  http://www.military.com/veterans-day/

Autauga County District Court Judge, Phillip Wood...To Retire

Autauga County District Court Judge, Phillip Wood, is retiring on December 31.  He has presided as District Judge for 26 years.  http://www.montgomeryadvertiser.com/article/20091111/NEWS01/911110331/Autauga%20County%20district%20judge%20Wood%20to%20retire%20after%2026%20years

D.C.SNIPER, JOHN MUHAMMAD EXECUTED..PRONOUNCED DEAD AT "911"

>How ironic is that for D.C. Sniper John Muhammad to die at exactly "911"?  Some people say that numbers have meaning, and in the Bible, numbers were used in many passages.  I was watching CNN last night, when the press came out and stated the details of John Muhammad before he was executed.   They watched as he "staggered" out, being assisted to walk by the prison personnel.  He did not have any last comments to the family members of the victims who were killed in his trail of terror.  I feel badly for his children, for his ex-wife, and for the victims of the terrible cross-country rampage. 

Some were curious as to if Muhammad was sedated before he was executed.  One of the prison personnel that has witnessed executions in another place, said that 13 of the prisoners that he was involved with walking to the death chamber, were offered Valium, but none of them took it.  Lethal Injection is still a prominent issue among the death penalty activists.  If you have any comments to make...concerning John Muhammad, his victims, or the death penalty, I'd like for you to voice them here. http://www.cnn.com/2009/CRIME/11/11/virginia.sniper.execution/index.html

Muhammad was executed for the killing of Dean Meyer who was shot in the head at a Manassas, Virginia gas station.  http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20091111/ap_on_re_us/us_sniper_execution;_ylt=AuHt9d3W257EEn3ybO_3XVGs0NUE;_ylu=X3oDMTM1b2lqNzE0BGFzc2V0A2FwLzIwMDkxMTExL3VzX3NuaXBlcl9leGVjdXRpb24EY3BvcwM2BHBvcwMzBHB0A2hvbWVfY29rZQRzZWMDeW5faGVhZGxpbmVfbGlzdARzbGsDZGVmaWFudGRjc25p
