DUI Lawmaker Urged to Resign

tnflag.jpgDUI. Evading arrest. Those are just two of the charges facing state Rep. Rob Briley, D-Nashville, after his weekend arrest in Wilson County just east of Nashville. Various Republicans, including the state party, are calling on him to resign. VolunteerVoters.com is tracking the story. Lawmakers should not be lawbreakers - and lawbreakers should not be lawmakers. They especially should not be chairman of the House Judiciary Committee.

Update: More here.

Update: Now Briley is facing a vandalism charge, too.

Update: House Speaker Jimmy Naifeh weighs in. Also, reportedly Naifeh called Republicans "lowlifes" for thinking that perhaps the Judiciary Committee shouldn't be run by a guy who drives drunk, tries to evade arrest, and vandalizes a police car after he's arrested. Wes Comer responds.


Comments

Not only is Briley an irresponsible jerk, but Naifeh has called Republicans asking for his resignation "lowlifes" that he has "absolutely no use for".

Nice.

This bunch is literally out of control. Naifeh's good pal Ray Davis just went down for running a Ponzi scheme in Milan. Briley and Jerry Cooper have risked killing people by driving drunk this year. Close to a dozen democrats in Memphis are going to prison for taking bribes. John Ford even threatened to murder an FBI agent and his crazy ex wife Tamara got arrested yet again last week for DUI. If thats not out of control then I dont know what is.

Briley and Naifeh delayed numerous bills by House Republicans this year that would have strengthened the DUI laws in Tennessee to make them tougher. This is yet another sign of the corrupt, unethical, immoral Democrats "leading" our state.
