Milton McGregor was quoted (in the Montgomery Advertiser, I think) as saying he would consider taking the case to SCOTUS. But I don't think that is a sure thing. In fact, I generally support VictoryLand's position and have shown how the AL Sup. Ct. ruling was unlawful, but seeking certiorari from SCOTUS would be a waste of time. There is pretty much zero chance that SCOTUS would hear the case, and it would be a waste of time and money for McGregor.legalschnauzerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09619089628125964154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3669412675139526125.post-5368915012573960242016-04-29T15:29:30.047-05:002016-04-29T15:29:30.047-05:00"You can almost hear Roy & the Gang laugh..."You can almost hear Roy & the Gang laughing (or seething) as they overturned that opinion."<br /><br />Is that the one headed for SCOTUS?<br /><br />https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/part-I/chapter-115Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3669412675139526125.post-15086301364634657502016-04-28T16:01:02.022-05:002016-04-28T16:01:02.022-05:00Thanks for your insights on the 14th Amendment, Ro...Thanks for your insights on the 14th Amendment, Rob. Are there some good books out there on this subject? I should do a post about it, including your ideas stated here. I think I wrote a post one time saying that the current South is run by a "New Confederacy," that their goal (and they tend to be white, male, conservatives) is to make up their own law as they go along. I've seen that kind of behavior over and over again, in both state and federal courts. They have zero respect for the U.S. Constitution, and that's because (I think) their loyalty is to the New Confederacy. Not only do they hate the 14th Amendment, but it's like they refuse to acknowledge that it exists.<br /><br />Notice how Roy Moore's court treated the recent VictoryLand ruling, where the trial judge ruled in the casino's favor on equal protection grounds. You can almost hear Roy & the Gang laughing (or seething) as they overturned that opinion.legalschnauzerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09619089628125964154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3669412675139526125.post-72668678802807789922016-04-28T01:17:01.813-05:002016-04-28T01:17:01.813-05:00As my cousin Michael Hill of the League of the Sou...As my cousin Michael Hill of the League of the South would be quick to point out, those who are failing to abide by the equal protection & due process clauses are citizens of sovereign states which were not represented in Congress at the time the 14th Amendment was voted on. The former Confederate States ratified the 14th Amendment only because Blacks & Yankee Sympathizers represented the people in Congress & the state legislatures while their preferred Confederate Veterans & Officials were under a disability to serve. Once Dixie Mafia restores the Confederate Government, there will be no 14th Amendment.Robby Scott Hillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08625575128616865817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3669412675139526125.post-34191471997339657362016-04-28T00:59:30.282-05:002016-04-28T00:59:30.282-05:00Making Equal Protection under the Law an amendment...Making Equal Protection under the Law an amendment to the Constitution was Abraham Lincoln's dream. He died for it & Andrew Johnson was impeached for it. Actually using the law in the real world was the dream of John & Bobby Kennedy. They also died for it along with Martin Luther King. Even Republicans in the Congress of the 1860s refused to accept the notion that the Negro or a White Woman or a Queer White Male was their equal in the workplace or that the Negro should be allowed to eat in the same restaurant, but they did finally <br />acknowledge that all men should be treated equally in the courtroom & this was a huge step forward. It was unprecedented that a Black Man would no longer be viewed as property or a free, yet ignorant former slave & would have the right to sue & defend suits at law or God forbid sit on a jury in judgment of a White Man or worse yet in judgment of a fellow Negro who had raped a White Woman or who had stolen from a White Man. This was an earth shattering concept down in Alabama where Black Men were not worth as much as a decent hunting dog & Indians were worth less than the dead fowl the dogs retrieved after their master had shot them dead. For the first time in American History, the White Man would not be supreme in something and he could not stand the thought of it; enter the Ku Klux Klan.Robby Scott Hillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08625575128616865817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3669412675139526125.post-80268206876396734012016-04-27T11:38:35.516-05:002016-04-27T11:38:35.516-05:00@4:32--
I've heard the old line about the imp...@4:32--<br /><br />I've heard the old line about the importance of a lawyer who knows the judge, not the law--and even I get a chuckle out of it. But it's important to remember that our system does not--and certainly is not supposed to--run on the basis of an old joke. <br /><br />We have something called the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which guarantees Mrs. Upton "equal protection of the law." In other words, it guarantees the law will be applied to her the way it is to Mr. Upton and other parties. Those who fail to abide by the equal protection and due process clauses are violating the law--the very principles upon which this country is founded.<br /><br />While I appreciate your attempt at humor, I'm sure you realize that joke is not supposed to be one of the guiding principles in American jurisprudence. Sadly, our system all too often is a joke, and exposing such chicanery is the No. 1 goal behind this blog.<br /><br />"Private Judge" Gary Pate took an oath to uphold the law and the U.S. and Alabama constitutions. At that, he has failed miserably. Mostly, he's upheld the interests of his former law partner, George Fernambucq, and Mr. Fernambucq's wealthy client.legalschnauzerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09619089628125964154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3669412675139526125.post-59700524213877422452016-04-26T16:32:41.021-05:002016-04-26T16:32:41.021-05:00WTF,This a common case of a good lawyer knows the ...WTF,This a common case of a good lawyer knows the law and a better lawyer knows the judge.
