Morning Roundup: Villegas Attorneys File Suit and More

Posted by Jack Silverman on Fri, Nov 6, 2009 at 9:40 AM

Lawyers sue for documents relating to last year's incarceration of Juana Villegas, the illegal immigrant who was nine months pregnant and on the verge of childbirth, after a routine stop for a minor traffic violation.... Does the IRS owe you money for a change? Find out here.... Despite yesterday's setback, Common Cause Tennessee continues to push for paper ballots for the 2010 election.... Convention center supporters, um, support the convention center (who knew?), while Metro Council members get "The Hot Box Treatment."... A Dickson soldier stationed at Fort Hood shares his experience during yesterday's Fort Hood rampage, and a Nashville mosque speaks out against the attack.... A spry, energetic Leonard Cohen captivates a TPAC crowd for three hours. When you're 75, you should be so lucky.... How big of a hotshot were you in kindergarten? Not as big as Spring Hill 5-year-old Josh Sacco, the Kurt Russell-imitating YouTube phenom.... And finally, a federal grand jury indicts Hanover Corp. CEO Terry Kretz and CFO Robert Haley on fraud and conspiracy charges for their Ponzi scheme that bilked investors out of $18 million. Kretz and several other parties involved in the case are/were parishioners at Pastor Maury Davis' Cornerstone Church in Madison. And to help guide your way to a productive Friday, we offer these words of inspiration from Kretz, in a 2007 deposition:
"The whole premise of Hanover Corporation was to help people who had lost money in the market in general. You know, our whole thing was about a regeneration of funds for folks. That was our premise. And then alongside of that is - we're believers in Jesus Christ and religious people, and our thing was to fund the Kingdom of God, and that is where we stand with it."

It is a shame that the Scene, as liberal as it is, takes the time to personally have a op-ed writer, because we all can see that Hargrove is far from a reporter, go on a mission to run a pastor from town. Jesus forgives us of our wrongdoing, and it is his job to pass judgment, not all of you other liberal hacks here on this post. I only hope you find the way and you don't fall under the wrong hand of God. Liberalism is a mental disorder, and the Scene in inflatrated with it. Look at where it has us. . .higer taxes, more spending, unemployment at a all time high, big corporate companies and wellfare reciepents getting all the benefits while the working class get stuck every way possible. Thanks liberals, I can't wait until the 2010 and 2012 revolution and get your one termer socialist who practices obaminusm profoundly out of the White House and out of politics. The most un-experienced pres in American History.

What part of ILLEGAL (meaning not legal or not lawful) in illegal immigrant do you people not understand? She should not be ENTITLED to anything in the U.S., as she is not an american citizen. She had no RIGHTS as those are reserved for American citizens that are LEGALLY here in the country. Moreover she is a repeat criminal offender, First by entering the country ILLEGALLY the first time then being deported and returning once again ILLEGALLY, then driving without a license ILLEGALLY.(Did she have insurance?) She is a repeat criminal offender and a drain on the U.S. taxpayer that is here legally. How much has she paid in taxes since she has been here? (NONE= Tax evasion once again another criminal act) She has how many kids that were born here as a result of her criminal act of sneaking into the country repeatedly ILLEGALLY? Who pays for the social services i.e Food Stamps or welfare, WIC or any other government service funded by legal U.S. taxpayers that ARE here LEGALLY. What a joke! You come here illegally, burden our system, commit criminal or illegal offences, then have the nerve to believe we owe you something. How disgusting! If for some reason she is awarded some kind of monetary settlement out of this, it should be seized by the IRS for her tax evasion. Why should I or other taxpaying legal citizens have to pay for people like this? The short answer is we shouldnt! Our country is in debt. We dont have enough money for you too. The loopholes need to be shut down. and the ILLEGALS need to be sent packing!
