According to The Tennessean, the judge assigned to that infantile lawsuit to stop Restaurant Carry is Claudia Bonnyman. She’ll hear it on Tuesday at 3pm.
She was appointed in 2003 by Bredesen. I wonder which Bredesen appointed her, the one that supports the second amendment or the one that showed up last month?
A good sign is that she is the same judge that refused to stop a referrendum because it was politically unpopular. A bad sign is that she had previously stopped it from being on the general ballot last November.
Another bad sign is that she chose to hear this case.
She also dismissed a lawsuit a couple of years ago where some parishoners had been expelled from a church for asking questions about the church’s finances. The parishoners were suing to be allowed back in church, and Bonnyman basically said “Hey, that’s none of my business.”
From the quick search I’ve done, it looks like she isn’t a political hack. But she is a Bredesen appointee.
My prediction? She throws out the case, but doesn’t point and laugh.
Assuming your prediction comes to pass, it would be more the shame – the idiot lawyer who is bringing this lawsuit deserves to be pointed and laughed at.
That said, so long as this lawsuit gets dismissed, I will be happy.
