Bubba to run for Supreme Court

Chancery Court judge Randy "Bubba" Pierce of Leakesville announced that he will run for the Mississippi Supreme Court (District 2, Position 2) this year, according to a release from Pierce.

This seat is currently held by Supreme Court Justice Oliver Diaz. Diaz, who has held the post since 2000, was a victim in the White House witchhunt that Scott Horton of Harpers has covered recently (Cottonmouth has posted and linked all of his blogs on the issue).

Pierce served in the MS legislature as a Democrat from 2000 until 2005 when he quickly forgot his friends who made him chairman of the Education committee and was offered the judgeship by Haley Barbour.

As folks qualify for the Supreme Court races (there are four seats up), Cottonmouth will have more information and coverage of the races and the candidates.
