His troubles have just begun. I mean, who wants to go to prison with a nickname like, “Dickie?”

It’s the 99% of lawyers that give the other 1% a bad name…

Bingo! - nice one, longbow.

The whole Judicial System in this country has become so corrupt that I fear it is beyond redemption.

A Law Degree is nothing more than a license to steel legally.

I was just wondering. It may be regretful if this guy goes to prison. Even though he surrendered his law license, he’ll have tons of potentional clients in jail. 2 months after being incarcerated, the courts could be overwhelmed with those silly lawsuits. I guess he’ll charge the inmates their dessert or candy bars.

“P.S. Trivia, which probably isn’t that trivial, and which Michelle has noted before: Dickie Scruggs is Trent Lott’s brother-in-law.”

Sorry, MM, no new-news here; the MSM made sure we all knew of that connection quite some time ago.

No doubt this reflects my own prejudices, but I just can’t imagine any good ever coming from someone named “Dickie Scruggs.” Did he ever consider suing his parents? It’s a B-movie name that practically screams “creep.”

Anyway, enjoy your time, Dickie. I’m sure you will make lots of new friends.

Thieves and rascals capture your attention while the mayhem, pillage & plunder continues. Like snake charmers.

We keep voting the same scoundrels to Congress & the Senate at every turn. Activist Judges legislate from the bench.

Way to go!

Twoninerkilo, I think Earl Scruggs is still alive, and his son, Randy, still plays. LOL. Flatts is gone though…died in the 70s. Enjoy the music.

Scruggs: flattened.

I was going to celebrate my mutual love of all things bluegrass, but looks like I’m not alone.

If I recall, lawyers were banned in Virginia, in 1645, and 1658. The “law” business was a mess. Sounds familiar. They were allowed back in 1680, with the same problems again. Maybe we need a little more government regulation on the state level to keep things from continuing way out of control.

….Scruggs has given boatloads of money to various Clinton campaigns over the years. I wonder if anybody in the MSM will do their homework and write an article about just how much money Scruggs has given to various Clinton campaigns over the years.

He’s still a piker compared to the money they’ve extracted from the Chinese, and nobody wants to write about that either.

Flatt was better than Scrugs. Just sayin’.

Nah. Scruggs was always right in tune, but Lester was always Flatt.
