Joseph Jackson filed a complaint saying Cameron does not meet the qualifications to run to represent the people of Kentucky. (Source: Phylicia Ashley, WAVE 3 News) Cameron made it clear at court Monday, that he believes the complaint is nothing but a political ploy and said he knows Democratic Attorney General candidate Greg Stumbo is behind it all.

Ben Gastel, Jackson’s lawyer, argued that Cameron has not been practicing law or had consistent clients for eight years straight. Following the hearing, Cameron said in a past case similar to his the court said a candidate needed to have a license for eight years and he's been qualified and practiced law for longer than that. Cameron said his opponent, Stumbo timed this out just a month before the election to try and hinder his success.

This so absurd. Under the definition being argued the presiding judge in the case would not be eligible to run for re-election to his office as he does not have clients as a judge. A US Supreme Court Justice could not run for Attorney General under this definition if they were to retire and file to run. Clearly you have to be an attorney in good standing to get a position as a clerk for a US District Judge and that is obviously good legal experience many attorneys never have the privilege of having, which is the point of the clause in the Constitution requiring experience as an attorney before being able to run for Attorney General.

This should be a no-brainer, but they no doubt shopped to file this case before a judge they believe they can manipulate into making a bone-headed ruling.

Last gasp of the dying KY Derp State. Stumpy should’ve been in prison long ago. He knows he’s losing badly.

It’s from “Wave 3” so of course it had to be in triplicate. Or maybe they’re like me. I repeat myself when I’m under stress. I repeat myself when I’m under stress. I repeat myself...

Kentucky’s Attorneys General have a sordid past of nepotism and trading tax dollars for private sector jobs. AG candidate Stumbo is a prime example. He has been in and out of Kentucky politics for 30 years, mixing private and public work to enrich himself and his friends. Friends like Mr. Lundergan, who was recently found guilty of federal illegal campaign contributions and who happens to be the father of Kentucky’s Secretary of State.

This Kentucky circuit court ruling is one of the few times when the dirty politics of our AG’s was brought to light. Nobody went to jail or was fined but a few rich law practice’s work was pro bono.

The circuit court was eventually affirmed by The Ky Supreme Court.

If you read the ruling note that Stumbo worked for Morgan and Morgan during the period litigated.

I usually catch things like that - when highlighting there was a caption under a photo with the same text as the article that also apparently highlighted.

If Stumbo does not win, the Lundergan establishment will be completely out of power...for the first time in...decades, I believe.

Well they got a judge in Jefferson County. That’s not good.

The longer I live here the more I despise the Democrats in this state. They really do expand the meaning of scumbags.

He'll be disqualified by this judge. That's why it was filed in the democrat stronghold of Louisville.
