Overall, I'm pretty happy with the results of the primaries
I hate that stupid amendment passed, but I can't say it's a surprise that it did.

Baxley won, which is good.

Moore lost, which is even better.

And even better than that, every one of Moore's acolytes went down HARD.

Things are looking up.

1. Moore's clan
would have been much better than the current Supremes. Yes, Tom Parker is a moonbat... but so is Drayton Nabers. The difference in the two of them is that Parker votes with the consumer while Nabers & Co walks lockstep with the BCA and insurance companies.

However, I was glad that Baxley won and Dial got the axe.

4. Gotta disagree, strongly

While the current Supreme Court is terrible, the Moore ticket would have been far worse. They are Christian Reconstructionists.

5. I'd still rather have them
than Nabers & Co. Moore's group wouldn't be able to change the whole face of govt I don't believe...

6. I certainly respect your opinion
Edited on Wed Jun-14-06 01:20 AM by Syrinx
And I have some sympathy to your point of view, in fact.

But there is not a doubt in my mind that had Moore's slate of SC candidates won, it wouldn't have taken them long to engineer another pointless fight with the federal courts. Parker, and the others aligned with Moore, openly declare that state courts have a duty and obligation to ignore higher court rulings that they disagree with. That's an, um, interesting legal theory.

2. How does
Sue Bell Cobb stack up against her rival? I was a social worker in Alabama, and had her as a judge a few times. I respected her opinions. However, my freeper aunt was also a social worker, and HATED her! So I am really pulling for her!

7. Respectfully, I think you answered your own question
Edited on Wed Jun-14-06 02:27 AM by Syrinx
If you, a DU'er, like her, and your "freeper" aunt hates her, I think the answer is pretty clear. :)
