Sweet Home Alabama

Keep in mind as you read this quote Alabama currently has 9 R's on their Supreme Court.


"In a debate with powerful echoes of the turbulent civil rights era, four Republicans running for Alabama's Supreme Court are making an argument legal scholars thought was settled in the 1800s: that state courts are not bound by U.S. Supreme Court precedents.

The Constitution says federal law trumps state laws, and legal experts say there is general agreement that state courts must defer to the U.S. Supreme Court on matters of federal law.

Yet Justice Tom Parker, who is running for chief justice, argues that state judges should refuse to follow U.S. Supreme Court precedents they believe to be erroneous. Three other GOP candidates in Tuesday's primary have made nearly identical arguments."


And then this:

What IS Wrong with Kansas?


"Leaving many GOP officials stunned and angry, Gov. Kathleen Sebelius, a Democrat, picked former Kansas Republican Party chairman Mark Parkinson to run with her as lieutenant governor.

Parkinson switched parties to run with Sebelius. The move was announced as the pair made stops in several cities around the state on Wednesday.

Response from Republican leaders was quick and critical."


Obviously the wingnuts can't tolerate any moderates. To tolerate is just oh so pre 9-11.
