That is great news- Christie would make an outstanding choice. Great lawyer and very nice lady. I never thought of her as a candidate since she looks very young, but she apparently graduated law school in 1994 so is older than I thought.

Why don’t you check that out & reply to us with the correct job title. I think you are incorrect.

bigd, Christi McCoy is a federal public defender too (or has been recently, I guess she still is).

Glad to hear these good things about everybody. (Crispin, voice of experience there, bro?)

We don’t disagree then . . . but who is not being included? Certainly not Kelly or Lawrence since their names were prominently mentioned right off the bat.

And truth be told, very many qualified individuals will never be considered because of the inherently political nature of the process. No surprise there or problem with that.

Wow! I see you for Mccoy & that is great.I have nothing negative to say about Mccoy .Mr Mims tries many many cases as a public defender . A public defender has to work just as hard if not harder that the one prosecuting the cases & has less evidence to work with. As to Mr Deas he also works in all types of courts on sorts of cases. He is highly intelligent & he graduated from Yale & University of Va law school.Last time I checked you have to be a near genius to even get accepted to these schools. I am not arguing that she is not at all a great lawyer. I just think everyone needs to be included in this process that is qualified.

denissmyth @ 3: I respectfully disagree. Though I like and respect Mr. Buchanan on a personal level, this observer’s opinion is that his tenure as USA was divisive and somewhat corrosive.

With respect to either Ms. Slaughter-Harvey or Ms. McCoy, both would make outstanding selections.

bigdemocrat @ 4: Your remark tells me that you are unaware of who does or tries what kinds of cases in these parts. Not taking anything away from either Kelly or Lawrence, who are good lawyers in their own right, neither of them could match Ms. McCoy’s breadth of experience civil or criminal in the federal courts.

And no, Ms. McCoy will gouge your eyes out if the requirements of the case call for it. Otherwise, you’re quite right . . . she’s very nice.

What about the other choices like Kelly Mims & Lawrence Deas ? They are very experienced lawyers from Tupelo. I have never heard of Mccoy. I am sure she is a nice lady.
