N.C.Residents 'Cactus-Jacked' by Legislature

Raleigh, NC (TLS). Rational minds would think that in the aftermath of the Duke lacrosse rape hoax nightmare, the N.C. legislature would rush to pass legislation that would immediately remove from office any disbarred District Attorney or Judge.

Then again, who said that rational minds run the North Carolina legislature?

A bill was introduced by N.C. State Senator Tony Rand that would remove in a timely fashion unqualified Judges and D.A.s, including those who had been disbarred. By the time the bill made its rounds it somehow got hijacked along the way, and the Senate passed an amended version that would allow such unqualified persons to stay in their positions, thus defeating the original purpose of the bill.

Thus, once again, residents of North Carolina have been 'cactus-jacked' by their elected state officials.

No surprise there.
