Put Mississippi values first, not join the DC club. Will defend the 2nd Amendment and civil liberties. Decrease taxes and make government small.
I am a former federal law clerk, an attorney, conservative commentator, and was lead counsel for the State of Mississippi in seeking to declare Obamacare unconstitutional. The political philosophy to which I adhere represents traditional c
onservative thought – a fusion of Judeo-Christian principles, free enterprise, limited government, fiscal responsibility, free-market policies, reduced tax rates, morality in government, strong national defense, federalism, and constitutional checks and balances. Steeped in the heritage of Western civilization, it represents a consensus of reason operating within tradition, and it recognizes its origin as the 1787 Constitutional Convention. It fights for our capacity for self-government and will never abandon the ideas of the American Revolution, refusing to confess that a little intellectual elite in a far-distant capital can plan our lives for us better than we can plan them ourselves. The American Constitution has set down for all men to see the essentially Christian and American principle that there are certain rights held by every man which no government and no majority, however powerful, can deny. I am also a partner in a law firm and licensed to practice law in Texas and Mississippi, litigating cases throughout the United States. I'm a longsuffering Chicago Cubs fan. When I'm not watching the Cubs break my heart, I return to my old love, the Boston Red Sox (American league, remember?). I also enjoy basketball (Celtics) and Hockey (Bruins) (Blackhawks). And please don't hold this against me, but I think Roger Staubach is the greatest QB ever (go Cowboys!). I still want Tom Landry back as coach. For my hobbies, I love music (all of it). My favorite snack is Peanut M&M's. I've also never turned down a chocolate chip cookie. I read everything (even if I disagree), and I'm open to changing my mind if the argument is sound. My family. And I miss my dad. Every day.
