The Tuberville Lawsuit
Those documents were enough for Tuberville to fend off a residency challenge from McFeeters to the Alabama Republican Party. The party’s 21-member steering committee ruled in Tuberville’s favor Sunday, saying he met the state’s residency requirements.
But this new lawsuit, assuming it goes to trial, will open up Tuberville’s records even further, and could result in new information coming to light in the discovery process. The public will find out if Tuberville is actually a Florida man.

Looks like the cats are blockading the dog. Give a call to Steve and Jared. They’re not busy at the moment and can easily settle this crisis. Just make sure they don’t give your house to the dog.

“The bill, which passed the GOP-controlled Senate Armed Services Committee last week, is trying to force the disclosure of the unedited footage of every boat strike in the campaign.“
They need to demand a lot more than that. For example, they need the military to provide evidence in every case that the boats were carrying drugs and that they were heading to the United States. Who was on the boats? The bombings would still be crimes regardless, so require the military to provide the legal memos claiming otherwise.
