(Gov.) Easley told law students in New York that Nifong's decision to seek office in last fall's election almost prompted him to consider yanking Nifong from office.


Well, what's stopping you now?

Congressman BillyBob would probably be able to give the best definitive legal answer, but I believe that the Governor could have unappointed the Fong prior to the election. After the election, he would have to removed via other means.

He can't now. Nifong has been elected by the PEOPLE. Easley can't overthrow a local election.

Now, isn't that just too convenient?
