(33,424 posts)Any governor has a First Amendment right to speak his mind about a public spending decision. The second count will fall on that alone. Where did Moore get his law degree?

(77,795 posts)In my neck of the woods, over decades, as recently as last month, there have been countless judges of various jurisdictions, who have been arrested for DWI, with several lurid reports about "Do you know who I am?" and "Please, don't ruin what I've worked for for so many years!"
None of them resigned. Some ran for re-election and were re-elected. The so-far survivors are still on the bench, some passing judgment on fellow DWI-ers.
Apparently GOODHAIR's supporters (who ARE these people?!1) have adopted the line of the drunk woman D.A. as justifying his idiotic threats and official oppression. The dude has ZERO INSIGHT into himself, his motives, his talent/capacity -- or else, the depth of his being obtuse is such that he thinks nobody else can see through him.
Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
