Its justice system is no longer functional. <br /><br />When you read about cases such as this it reminds one of how things are done in Russia. No wonder Russia was happy about Trump winning, he is nominating Sessions. Cases such as this brings into question the exercise of "good judgement". In my opinion neither Trump nor Sessions has it . these guys and their "poor judgement" are just like those who signed up with A.M. They all display "poor judgement". <br /><br />Having a country's top law official displaying such bad judgement does not bode well for law enforcement in a country. When Trump "welcomes" some of Putin's "friends" the thugs and oligarics who run Russia, how will Americans fare in court should they want to sue any of these people? How will the thugs and oligarch fare in American courts with guys like Sessions running the show? <br /><br />If you do not have a decent and honest judicial system you might as well fold your tent and move along. You can't win short of a revolution. e.a.f.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3669412675139526125.post-74460991363203021822017-01-09T13:31:43.716-06:002017-01-09T13:31:43.716-06:00Good point, @1:30.

One thing that's odd to me: Just about every large corporate law firm in downtown Birmingham has a major "labor and employment" section that defends companies against discrimination suits. A little research suggests to me that the market is flooded with them, and has been for years. So why would Terry Price specialize in a crowded field for Lehr Middlebrooks? Maybe because he could provide one service that other firms couldn't -- getting rid of Judge Clemon.legalschnauzerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09619089628125964154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3669412675139526125.post-72863049427885471222017-01-09T12:12:02.492-06:002017-01-09T12:12:02.492-06:00What about Judge Clemon's newphew's ethics...What about Judge Clemon's newphew's ethics?
