Mississippi ping!
Lott spoke to DeLaughter and other potential candidates about a vacancy in the federal court system, but the senator supported Halil "Sul" Ozerden, who was sworn in as a federal judge in Mississippi in August, according to Lott's former chief of staff, Brett Boyles.
DeLaughter did not immediately respond to calls seeking comment Thursday. But in an interview last week with The Associated Press, DeLaughter challenged anyone who doubted his judicial integrity to read his ruling in the case.
"I have not taken any bribes of any sort. Have not issued any rulings in exchange for money or anything else," DeLaughter said. "If one were to go back and look at my very lengthy and detailed ruling, I think it would be very evident ... they are on a solid legal basis and would stand any scrutiny."

Oh, Bobby....BOBBY....BOBBY!!!! Say it ain’t so, Bobby.
WD, DeLaughter was a friend of my daddy’s.
His first wife, Dixie (Moore) DeLaughter - the daughter of Rex Moore, played by Virgina Madsen in “Ghosts of Mississippi” - was my 7th Grade Home Ec teacher at old Magnolia Academy (nee Council 6).
Ed Peters is as crooked as they come. A sandpaper bath with Comet and Clorox couldn’t get all the dirt of that old murf. No surprise he’s mixed up in this.
Mississippi politics. Lord, have mercy.
But then again, I reckon since SkyTel sold out and Worldcom puked the largest employer in the state is the Legal profession. After all, Ole Miss Law School had a diploma privilege until about ‘85. That’s right - Ole Miss Law grads didn’t have to sit for the MS Bar Exam.
