2. Couldn't happen to a more contemptuous individual

90% of executions in MO have taken place under his watch as Assistant AG or AG or Governor and he actually likes it. I've known a lot of people who have worked with and under him as well as some who have just known him and no one likes him.

3. Next step?

Find out who is in the State Legislature that is also a member of the Bar and do the same to them.

6. He's the target because he vetoed the bill that would have funded it

On the up side, his last term is up. I hope he retires and we never hear from him again.

4. Nicely done!

5. John Oliver did a great piece on the public defender problem

Of course, I wish it was not only comedians on pretend news shows that gave a shit about stuff like this, but, it is what it is.
