Idle thoughts of a relatively libertarian Republican in Cambridge, MA, and whomever he invites. Mostly political.

There's an interesting judicial scandal in Mississippi. Link from Instapundit.
A web of connections exists between the judges, lawyers, politicians and investigators involved in a Mississippi judicial-corruption probe, raising questions about the fairness and thoroughness of the investigation and about possible conflicts of interest.
...At issue is whether wealthy lawyers paid off loans for judges in exchange for favorable rulings. At stake is Mississippians' trust of the judiciary. The investigation is also a key battle in a nationwide tort-reform movement that often pits Democrats, who rely on trial lawyers for fund raising, against Republicans, who are under pressure from big business to limit jury awards in lawsuits.
