I suppose anyone who is interested and still cares has seen the report that courts in Blount County have decided to not hear any cases represented by Mike Meares' sister.

Not only is this childish and vindictive, it is a blatant attempt to destroy a person's career and take away their ability to earn a living.

It is also a public admission that the Blount County judiciary cannot and has no intention of being fair and impartial. Let that be a lesson to anyone who opposes the Blount County establishment.

I suppose if you have business before the court and your name is on the public record as a Meares campaign donor you now have to ask for a change of venue?

At what point does a county government get so over the top out of control that it becomes a natural disaster and the governor has to declare martial law and send in the National Guard to restore order?

(It's a rhetorical question.)

At any rate, the voters of Blount County have spoken. Do you think they see now what they keep voting for? Probably not. Most of them are probably real proud of their accomplishment. Way to go.
