Pleading Malfunction
May 10, 2016 § 2 Comments
Attorney Carlos Moore filed suit in federal court to have Mississippi’s 1894 flag declared unconstitutional. That case is still pending.
Randy Wallace posted a link to an attempted responsive pleading filed by a person or persons self-styled as “CITIZEN’S [Citizen’s] OF THE STATE OF MISSISSIPPI,” purporting to be “with” Governor Dewey Phillip Bryant. You can access Randy’s link to the document here. Randy says that an exhibit to the so-called pleading was a Bible. Oh, and whoever filed this thing is not a named defendant.
Regardless how you view the merits of Mr. Moore’s suit, I am confident that you will concur that, as an attempted pleading, this document is pathetic. U.S. District Judge Carlton Reeves apparently agreed; he dismissed it with a cursory order.
SO . . . which version of the Bible did he attach as an exhibit? Was it the King James, which all three, God, Jesus and George, read and spoke?
I think the Billy Madison video clip that Wallace posted pretty much sums up my thoughts on that pleading. That being said, I believe this pro se masterpiece still takes the cake for most ridiculous pleading of all time: Motion to **** this Court and Everything it Stands For
