Democrats don't get to put just whoever into an 11th or 5th Circuit judicial seat. We made the mistake of compromising with Democrats when it came to Don Siegelman's late law partner, the Socialist Robert Vance. Walter Leroy Moody was like me, a drop out, but he was also a patsy. My master, Senator Howell Heflin aka "Darth Jurist" was not pleased & had no choice but to clean up that mess.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06994554594714616642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3669412675139526125.post-50776865375751455712015-06-02T15:04:29.427-05:002015-06-02T15:04:29.427-05:00Great article!

Another recent episode of judicial misconduct, which I believe ultimately led to impeachment, was that of Judge Porteous in Louisiana. <br />Ultimately, I think Judge Fuller made the right call in resigning. Should be interesting to see how long it takes for his seat to be filled, as there are currently multiple vacancies in Alabama, both current and future.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3669412675139526125.post-52884760933111563902015-06-01T13:39:40.287-05:002015-06-01T13:39:40.287-05:00That goes back, to a great extent, to judicial imm...That goes back, to a great extent, to judicial immunity, Maybeline. Hitting a woman is always a bad idea, but it's particularly bad for Fuller because it was an act outside his "official capacity" as a judge. While acting as a judge, wearing the robe etc., he can screw someone to the nth degree--as he did with Siegelman--and enjoy judicial immunity. That means he can't be held accountable civilly, even for sending an innocent person to prison.<br /><br />Judicial immunity, by the way, is not based in any of our country's founding documents. It's a "gift" the judiciary gave itself. It essentially is a license to cheat and steal.<br /><br />The flip side is that a judge can be held accountable for criminal actions, and Fuller probably committed any number of crimes in the Siegelman case. But it takes a real FBI and a real U.S. attorney to dig into those, and I'm not sure either of those exist in Alabama.legalschnauzerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09619089628125964154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3669412675139526125.post-60072919245356290592015-06-01T13:33:24.660-05:002015-06-01T13:33:24.660-05:00How ironic that Fuller got forced out for hitting ...How ironic that Fuller got forced out for hitting his wife, when he should have been impeached for what he did to Don Siegelman.Maybelinenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3669412675139526125.post-87360924280435629912015-06-01T13:01:55.452-05:002015-06-01T13:01:55.452-05:00You make an interesting point, @12:59.

I don't know the answer to that question, but would welcome insight from anyone who might know. <br /><br />I long have thought the divorce records that pointed to his use of 5-6 pharmacies emitted a funny smell.legalschnauzerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09619089628125964154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3669412675139526125.post-71448090930329289432015-06-01T12:59:16.055-05:002015-06-01T12:59:16.055-05:00I think Fuller's obvious problems with alcohol...I think Fuller's obvious problems with alcohol and drug were a big factor in this.
