COMMENT: Robby Scott Hill ... My mom's family was Klan >> They sent
their most talented children to law school. My second cousin is a lawyer
in Birmingham. Around 1980, the KGC directed the Klan to go underground
& begin a period of co-existence as David Duke and others selected
to attend law school to trade their white robes for black robes &
trade the anonymity of the hood for the immunity of the bench. As my
mother's son, they cared for me to some extent, but I knew I was never
fully welcome. When I announced my intention to attend college & law
school, I was received with "good luck & you'll do it at your own
expense." Why don't you just get an ordinary job like all the other
"worker bees."
In short, the Klan is now synonymous with the
Judicial Branch of Government. They burned Fred Gray's offices &
won't assassinate Barack Obama or Eric Holder because they want them
alive to watch the newly re-gerrymandered Macon County & City of
Tuskeegee elect White Officials who are against bingo & slot
machines.

Lawyer Who Filed Shelby County v. Holder Lawsuit Has Family Ties to Dixiecrats And Bull Connor
 |
| Bull Connor's fire hoses |
Frank C. "Butch" Ellis has been a municipal lawyer in central Alabama for more than 40 years, and in 2010, he joined with Bert Rein of Washington, D.C., to launch Shelby County v. Holder. The case concluded last week with a U.S. Supreme Court ruling, penned by Chief Justice John Roberts, that found Section 4 of the Voting Rights Act is unconstitutional. (Key documents from throughout the case can be found here, at the Web site for the Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights.)
Roberts' opinion outraged many observers on the left, who consider the Voting Rights Act to be the primary legacy of Martin Luther King and the civil rights movement of the 1960s. Some went so far as to suggest Roberts and his supporters in a 5-4 ruling engaged in criminal acts when overturning Section 4.
Here is how public-interest litigator Rob Hager expressed his contempt for "The Roberts 5" at the nationofchange.org:
Yet another ruling from the legislative workshop of the Roberts 5, has now surgically overturned the landmark Voting Rights Act that redeemed the national disgrace of the criminally depraved Jim Crow era. Their surgical strike in Shelby County effectively overturns the most significant legal outcome of the Civil War; violates separation of powers; invents a new rule of “state equality” for applying federal legislation that nowhere remotely suggested in the Constitution, that was rejected by the leading precedent, and is inherently preposterous; reverses numerous precedents; decides the case of parties that were not in court instead of focusing on the case before it -- as the Constitution, Article III, requires; and rejects the very idea of applying a known objective rule to adduced facts as defines the judicial process.Hager makes a number of powerful arguments. But for now, we will focus on the man who gave birth to Shelby County v. Holder.
Butch Ellis is with the Wallace Ellis Fowler & Head law firm, which is right across the street from the Shelby County Courthouse in Columbiana. That courthouse is home to much of the corruption I've reported on this blog, including the unlawful sale of the full ownership rights to a house that my wife and I have owned for almost 25 years. Circuit Judge Hub Harrington presided over that fiasco, but no one is more embedded in Shelby County's corrupt culture than Butch Ellis. (We even have video that captures the sleaze in living color at a post titled "Showdown in Shelby County, Part II." This is Butch Ellis' kingdom, caught on tape.)
Ellis has contended in numerous published reports that Shelby County is a changed place, that black voter turnout is high and the county is solidly integrated. But a look at Ellis' personal history should raise eyebrows. That's because it has roots in an ugly effort to support segregation and throttle civil rights for black Americans.

Roughly one year later, Butch Ellis filed the federal lawsuit that became Shelby County v. Holder. And Montgomery tells Dubose that Ellis' son, County Commissioner Corley Ellis, never told him the lawsuit was coming. Writes Dubose:
In 2010, Shelby County filed suit in federal court, describing Section 5 as a federal intrusion into state issues. It is this lawsuit that will be heard by the Supreme Court at the end of this month. Montgomery learned about the County Commission’s decision to sue the Justice Department when he read it in the Birmingham News.
“As well as I know [County Commissioner] Corley Ellis—we have a friendship, not a close friendship but a friendship—I never got a heads up,” Montgomery said. CONTINUE READING @ LEGAL SCHNAUZER>>CLICK>>http://www.legalschnauzer.blogspot.com/
