Wow. I think the sky is falling. Maybe there is hope for this country after all. |
And the Alabama Young Republicans have renounced Roy too. Yup, there is hope. http://www.al.com/news/index.ssf/2017/11/birmingham_young_republicans_c.html#incart_river_home |
According to a prominent Alabama lawyer, he's lying when he says he presided over her divorce. He had to (no discretion) sign a motion to dismiss for papers signed by her attorney, while she had a different last name. She never appeared before him an probably had no idea he ever dealt with any of her divorce papers. This morning, I corresponded with a prominent Alabama attorney who reviewed the filings in Nelson’s 1999 divorce case. Based on those filings, the attorney insisted, Moore’s claims in the open letter are “completely disingenuous.” Nelson, this attorney told me, “was never before Moore,” since the divorce was not litigated. Rather, as court documents show, the divorce was filed, continued, and then dismissed. “These are all unilateral actions by the lawyer for the plaintiff,” the attorney went on. “A lawyer for the other side never even appeared. It is doubtful that these documents were even given to Nelson.” In any case, the attorney told me, Moore, whose signature is only on the motion for dismissal—not the original filing or motion to continue—had no actual discretion over the case. “When an agreed motion to dismiss is filed, Moore would have no discretion and have to sign,” the attorney continued. “Most likely, he never even looked at the parties’ names and Beverly had a different last name by then anyway.” The attorney concluded, “Moore’s lawyer’s statement that Beverly Nelson was before Moore in court and never objected to this circumstance was a lie.” ...Nelson’s divorce attorney, Rodney Ward, still practices in Gadsden. He concurred with this attorney’s analysis of Nelson’s divorce case. “I reviewed my file, and there was no hearing set in front of Judge Moore,” Ward told me this morning. “Looking at a copy of the order, it looks like Moore didn’t sign it. It looks like it was stamped by his assistant.” https://www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/roy-moore-disingenuous-defense So who are you going to believe? A judge who refuses to follow the law, an officer despised by his troops, a guy who sets up a non-profit that funnels a large proportion of the funds raised to his own family, or more than half a dozen women who don't know one another, most of whom are Church going and Republican, whose stories corroborate each other? |
Name the prominent attorney. Is his name DOUG JONES? I am going to belive Roy Moore after reading Jones’ cases, after the Washington Post got involved in this conspiracy and until credible Alabama judge is named. Doug Jones doesn’t represent what the people, who live in Alabama believe in. He’s an ambulance chaser whose firm has a history of mistreating female associates. That does sound like the perfect Democrat candidate. I believe Roy Moore had a history of leering at teenagers - 40 years ago. I believe Doug Jones’ could have stopped the course of actuon his firm was taking against the aggrieved assoicate and he didn’t. He didn’t care then and he doesn’t care now. He’s an ambulance chaser. |
| PP, are you accusing Doug Jones, the guy who prosecuted murdering Klansmen, with Roy Moore's lawyer? Moore's lawyer had his bar license suspended for ambulance chasing after the death of a 13 yo kid. You seem confused about who is who. |
It is a partnership. The firm is a small firm. He was a partner who joine in 2008. There is no way in hell he didn’t know about the gender discrimination suit. No way in hell. |
You seem to be defining Mr. Jones by one case. One case that anyone who passed the bar could have sinked from half court. |
|
Yikes. Forget that last metaphor. That was bad.
It was a case that was a slam dunk. I 100% believe the KKK case turned out the way it should have. And it is/was about time, no? It was about time. This guy is no Savior but, I sure do love you pointing out you believe he is because he did the right and just thing in a state that didn’t always get it right....like this gender discrimination case for example. |
More and more Alabamians are starting to realize Doug Jones represents exactly what they believe in. It’s not sanctimineous neoconferates theocrats, enablers of sex crimes and homophobes who strut around spouting scripture. The Lost Cause is a lost cause. |
^^^ sanctimonious neoconfederates |

In Ruby red Alabama, even if most men support Moore, women are running away from Moore. Kudos to Women,they are fairer and less evil than men. The polls say Jones will win if the election is held today.

| Wrapping yourself in the Flag and Bible doesn’t alter the depravity of your decayed moral core. |
| ole Roy surely laments the decline of brick and mortar malls in this country. |
Doug Jones is well to the left of most Alabamians. He’d fit right in with, say, the Arlington County Board. But voters will overlook that if they think he’s a decent person. So yes, he’ll win. |
