Rule 9.310 of the Rules of Appellate Procedure allows the trial judge to lift the stay. The appellate court has the authority to reinstate it.

Well put, bman. Remember, FFWCC is not an executive agency; it's a constitutional agency. And there is still a constitutional amendment in place that they must enforce. How it happens now is anyone's guess. I believe the appellate court has the authority to overrule the circuit court if it finds err...

Courts take a harsh look on appeal when a trial judge relies on a personal view as part of reaching a decision. While the appellate court can look at the exhibits, court filings and the transcribed testimony to determine whether the ruling was correct based on that record, it has no way of knowing e...

All of these debates come down to which numbers you choose to believe. Lots of information out there now could lead one to the conclusion that Obama is spending less than the previous President and is acting to lower the deficit. Other information would indicate that spending is the same or increase...

Got a nice one fishing from shore at the youth camp ramp at St. George last Saturday. The red and our trout were all caught on cut pinfish.

I fished the youth camp early Saturday morning on the rising tide. Two nice trout and a big red. All on fresh cut bait (pinfish). Had some shrimp, all they got me was the pinfish. Also cast netted some live bait (pilchards and small mullet) but didn't get any bites on those. Bite turned cold soon as...

The Democrat's advertising staff has been directed to focus their efforts on selling on-line advertising instead of ads for the printed paper. There is absolutely no commitment from Gabordi and Gannet to keep the print edition alive so we can all expect things to continue this decline and the paper ...

Your Dawgs took it to my Tigers yesterday. It was a great game but ya'll put it on us when it counted, even without your best running back.

Oh my word, alert the media, I am in complete agreement with Mr. Ducker. I had to bring my wife to the emergency room last year when her appendix decided it was time to come out. I was shocked at what I witnessed. A few of the folks there, like my wife and this poor fellow who works for a tree compa...

If you keep just a portion of those 10 million people from using the emergency room for care instead of a primary physician, the savings are appreciable. And those of us lucky enough to have health insurance wouldn't have to pay $14 for a Tylenol at the hospital.

If you are looking for a great spot, East Pass between St. George and Dog Islands in October is your place.

For the record, I do not think Mr. Ducker is an excuse-user. He has researched and reached his own conclusions based on what I will agree is extensive study. And I have no doubt he is a responsible gun owner. I have been a lawyer for 22 years (you win that one MD), have done considerable study mysel...

Mr. Ducker, I am not a young buck who is brainwashed. I have spent the last 20+ years in my legal career dealing with various issues, including many that include the Constitution. So, for discussion purposes, if the Amendments to the Constitution are absolute, what about Equal Protection? You have a...

The murder rates are per capita, not just raw numbers. See, that accounts for the difference in population. Per 100,000 population, we have ten times the amount of murders by weapons than Australia. Perhaps that was your oversight. Most of Chicago's guns come from out of state. Many from Virginia. I...

Thanks for the additional insults. I am not a "little boy," sir. I'm actually a fairly large boy. I do hug trees, swim around in our local waters, am currently representing two organizations trying to save oystering in the bay and am damn proud of it. Do you not enjoy the outdoors? I came ...
