Must read the E-Filed Brief, extremely well written. Thanks for the help.
I thought the SC had all the relevant information as of 8/5/13. A fifth grade reading comprehension should be sufficient to have made a ruling within 5 minutes. That is, if truth is a defense in MS. It is not in Florida.

Next due date for briefs is 8/12
Someone mentioned this earlier, but what happens if the SC rules incorrectly? Here we have a situation where the state was in clear violation of its own Constitution. A bill was signed into law reiterating that the Constitution means what it says. If then the SC says the Constitution and the bill don't mean what they say, what recourse is there? Could the governor or legislature remove the members of the SC and charge them with corruption? Use the state police against Hinds County LE if Hinds chooses to enforce their opinions over the law?
There is not much that can be done. It is possible to vote out judges in MS, but their terms are 8 years long.
Would it not be possible for the State to appeal it to the 5th US Circuit Court?
IANAL but I'd say no because this is a challenge only to a state statute.
