I don't know, David. I'm no fan of Scruggs, but the judge also has a colorful history--refusing to hire Yale grads as clerks because of Yale's position on military recruiters, and taking a tax challenge all the way to the Supreme Court (where he lost). (http://www.law.cornell.edu/supct/html/98-10.ZO.html).
Am I missing something here? Do you have a personal issue with this person?
