"District 11 - Cocke and Greene counties"

Could that perhaps be "Cooke" county?

Cocke County is named after a famous General that served under Andrew Jackson during the War of 1812. Yes, the name is Cocke.

Ladies and Gentlemen, children of all ages, this one is a pro-IT RINO. Yessiree, step right up, step right up and see the gross lack of ethics of the RINO. You guys starting to see a pattern here ?

The big question is, what do we do about his seat ? He's got a Democrat running against him in November and that guy could win it even in that heavily GOP area by default, thereby possibly costing us the 50th seat we need to take back the House for only the 2nd time in 130 years. UGH !

"Yes, the name is Cocke."

Somethin' he's going to get to be quite familiar with in the big house.

Have the feds proven that there is a "controlling legal authority?"

What's with that state?

No, this is a federal case. This walking pos is going to be heading off to the Memphis Federal Corrections Institute for some serious sphincter widening.

Something really fishy is going on in Tennessee. Take a look at history around another form of ID: drivers' licenses.

Driver's license law easing for aliens
By MONICA WHITAKER
Staff Writer

Legal and illegal immigrants should be able to get a Tennessee driver's license, even if they cannot produce a Social Security number, a majority of state lawmakers agreed yesterday.

Despite objections, primarily from Republican senators, bills passed in the House and Senate enabling driver's license testing stations to accept other forms of identification when someone applies for a license.

The expanded identification options include Immigration and Naturalization Service documents, resident alien cards and military papers issued by a foreign country.

Sen. Curtis S. Person Jr., R-Memphis, suggested an amendment that would require the driver's license applicant to be in this country legally, but the bill's sponsor refused. Senators approved the measure 19-10. The House approved it 69-21, with six members present but not voting.

It now goes to the governor for his signature.

We have two federal prisons in Shelby Co. one doesn't even have a fence around it. It is in Millington, former Military baracks. Which IF he is convicted might be were he'd be sent.
