Anti Gun Naifeh has ticket dismissed by fellow traver

What this story omits, is that Judge Moreland, a Democrat like Naifeh, says he has never spoken with Naifeh; but Naifeh says he spoke with Moreland before court. One of them is lying. Either way, it's another insult to the intelligence of those these two comrades allegedly serve. Not unlike Naifeh trusting criminals more than you having the tools to protect your loved ones while dining.

One of the best ways to counter this elitist, tyrannical behavior is to join, or renew your TFA membership and get involved in helping TFA protect your Gun Rights.

NASHVILLE - House Speaker Jimmy Naifeh says it was a coincidence that he happened to be in a Nashville courtroom on the day a judge decided to dismiss more than 70 tickets.
The Covington Democrat said he was in General Session Judge Casey Moreland's courtroom Feb. 16 to plead guilty to a December speeding ticket.

But instead of asking the judge if he could take traffic school in Tipton County, Naifeh - and more than 70 others - had their tickets cleared.

Naifeh remembered the judge telling the packed courtroom that " 'I'm a very happy man today, and I just found out at 12 o'clock today that I have no opposition and that I'm going to be re-elected judge.

" 'And I feel so good about it that I'm going to dismiss every citation today,' " Naifeh said.

Moreland told The Tennessean newspaper that Naifeh received no special treatment.

"It just happened to be 30 minutes after the qualifying deadline, and he was dealt with like everyone else in there," Moreland said.

Naifeh said he does not know Moreland and had not spoken to him other than to say hello before the hearing. He also shrugged off comparisons to Deputy Gov. Dave Cooley, whose February 2004 speeding ticket was dismissed through the Tennessee Highway Patrol.

Cooley said he didn't ask for any special consideration, but a videotape of the traffic stop from the patrol car showed Cooley handing the trooper his business card, which Cooley said he did reflexively as a courtesy.

"I think it's obvious that I wasn't trying to get out of a ticket," Naifeh said. "I was ready to pay my fine and go to driving school."

If a judge makes such decisions on a whim like that, he should be removed from the bench. Wheteher or not he did it to cover for Naifeh is moot.
