A letter has been sent to Memphis mayor Willie Herenton by attorney Javier Bailey informing the mayor that he has been retained by the Memphis office of Rainbow PUSH. Bailey informs the mayor that after careful consideration and conversation with the leaders of the group it is believed that Myron Lowery's ability to remain on the Memphis city council and also serve as Mayor Pro Tem which places him in a position in both the executive and the legislative branches of government absolutely abridges separation of powers.
The letter goes on to request that the mayor remain in office until February 2010 to avoid the $1 million price tag of a special election and a charter crisis.
The mayor is informed that should he not remain in office until February 2010 that a lawsuit will be filed in Chancery Court where Rainbow PUSH will seek a declaratory judgement where the city will be enjoined from violating the separation of powers provision of the city charter. The lawsuit will be filed the moment mayor Herenton vacates his office if its prior to February of 2010.

Old Javy Bailey may actually have one here that he could win, which would be his first successful lawsuit. But wait, isn't his license revoked? With two losers like Rainbow PUSH and Bailey teamed up, they may even lose this one.
As soon as I saw the quality of the preacher brigade and heard of their plans to use Xavier Bailey the joke became apparent. You have to know the strength of their suit to have an "attorney" like him. WTF would their standing be as not for profit directors?
Could Rainbow Push not find a competant lawyer? Thad, of all the lawsuits you talked about where Jay was involved, how many did he prevail? How's the West Memphis thing going?
By the way, Jay, did you ever pay your taxes? You were listed in the Memphis Business Journal as having a tax lien.
Has anything Javier Bailey ever filed done any good?

NO
Has Javier Bailey ever won a actual case?

"A letter has been sent to Memphis mayor Willie Herenton by attorney Javier Bailey"
Gosh, is the Jav out of rehab?
Hiring the Jav is like wearing a sandwich board with the text message, "BOUND TO LOSE". Were I to be arrested for a minor offense like shoplifting one item at a Dollar Store, I would plead guilty and accept life in prison before engaging the Jav, going before a jury and receiving a verdict of electrocution which would surely be the jury verdict where the Jav pleaded my case.
Matthews, you are not doing Javier Bailey a favor when you mention his name on this blog. Unlike you, the nasty reputation of Bailey is best hidden under a rock. As for you, nasty remarks make you feel as you do with a cucumber up your spine.
Thad
Who will be Mayor if Herenton leaves OFfice lets say Feb.28 2010?
Who will take over after he is gone if he stays until Feb ? I dont know a lot about politics. I just know i dont want to see Lowery in Dr. Herentons seat for one day.
I am starting to see how phoney Myron Lowrey really is. He should have not voted on the whole issue of whether Herenton should have to leave by July 10 or July 30. To me him siding with the white counselman shows his true colors. Thad, you were right about that guy he is an oppurtunist.
Thad, the thing you keep harping on is a black consensus candidate, and how the community has got to band together to develop one.
Lets face facts, if it hasn't happened by now, it simply ISN'T going to happen.
The community has had YEARS to develop such a candidate. It hasn't done so after all these years.
What makes anyone think it will happen in two weeks ?
At the end of the day, the black community is apathetic, cares less about solidarity and prefers to "Showboat" and talk loud without doing anything of substance.
Your children are a perfect example. Teenagers are the ones committing the majority of the murders, and yet the fathers are NOWHERE to be found, and the "Auntees" are rasing the kids.
You can't even control your own children, much less rally around a single consensus candidate.
Lets face it, it just isn't going to happen.
Lets see about Hack Bailey here:
Drey Davis case: LOSER
Eric Sammis case: LOSER
Chatt Family case: HE WAS FIRED BY HIS VERY OWN CLIENTS- LOSER
Run for political office: LOSER
Stint in rehab: LOSER
Defending his law license: LOSER
Anyone see a pattern here?
Thad, you were right about that guy he is an oppurtunist.

And you are a spelling major! Dum Ass
Rainbow PUSH ....a Jessie Jackson inspired shakedown organization!
"Could Rainbow Push not find a competant lawyer?"
Too funny....but Javier Bailey is the on-hand lawyer for the Memphis Chapter of Rainbow Push (Jessie Jackson's scam organization)!
"To me him siding with the white counselman shows his true colors."
Does your statement mean that you would accept a morally corrupt Willie Herenton just because he black to sit on his rotting potato ass as this city falls apart with it's high taxes and half ass jobs.
so now the fried chicken preachers have to have their say. Why can't they stay in their churches and attend to their congregations?
aw u niggers aint gonna win shit,with this frivilous lame ass lawsuit.WHITE FOLKS DO WHAT FUCK THEY WANT HERE.myron lowery is full steam ahead a lil soft pudgie fat fucker.u niggers are a joke a fucking chuckle at best.this low brow ass blog with a lower brow pre paid show...lmao..better go put some minutes on your KWAM account so listeners like "john " can call in.
hey thad a quick question since u are affixed to herenton ole narrow ass why wont he come on your show ? if herenton comes on your show i'll make this promise to you i will pay a year of your air time if herenton comes on.if he doesnt come on your show i will go with my original plan and go buy me a 1973 vega.
Did Herenton retire of his own free will or was he forced to retire. I am confused. Did he not know that someone would take his place are what. Is any of this for real are is someone writing a story for the new Twilight Zone. How does HERENTON RETIRE then turn around and say that the city counctl is out to get him. This is enough for a sane person to lost their f==cking mind. Herenton please retire are gone on back to work and shut the f==k up.
I made the mistake in hiring Javier as my lawyer. So far in my life, it is the biggest mistake I have made.
Has Javier or you read (sorry - had some one read you) the Charter?
Lowery can only serve for twenty days until council appoints an interim mayor.
The short window is the very reason the council chair can hold both positions simultaneously - and temporarily.
I know reading is hard for you so here is the link:
http://www.cityofmemphis.org/framework.aspx?page=918
38.2 "In the case of the death, resignation, inability for any reason to serve, or recall of the Mayor or his removal from the
City, his office shall be occupied by the Chairman of the Council for a period not exceeding twenty (20) calendar days,
during which period the Council shall elect a successor to the Mayor from among qualified persons not members of the
Council at the time of such elections. Such elected person shall take office as Mayor immediately on election and shall
hold office until his successor is elected or qualified, which office shall thereupon be filled in the same manner as
heretofore provided for vacancies on the Council. In the event the Council shall fail to act within the twenty (20) day
period, the Director of Administration shall fill said office until such time as the members of the Council shall have
elected a successor or until the next general or municipal election. (Ord. No. 1852, 11-8-66)"
Please Memphians embrace an inclusive government lead by competent, caring leaders; drop the racism. Advancement in Memphis will not take place without our GLBT, Muslims, Whites, Women, Asians, Christians, Men, Blacks, Young, Hispanics, Jewish, Elderly, Middle Easterns or Indian leaders....please use Education as a tool of progress versus the "the good ole boy" network that thrives on hate, crime, and ignorance!!!!
523, you are a fucking idiot the charter dealing with the vacany of the mayor was changed last year in a referenum. damn didnt you read when you were voting
"Too funny....but Javier Bailey is the on-hand lawyer for the Memphis Chapter of Rainbow Push (Jessie Jackson's scam organization)!"
No honest lawyer would work for Rainbow Push. Javier should be cleaning the gutters of three story homes with his nose for minimum wages.
"I am starting to see how phoney Myron Lowrey really is. He should have not voted on the whole issue of whether Herenton should have to leave by July 10 or July 30."
Since Willie Herenton seems to be the worst mayor Memphis ever had, we should be grateful to Myron Lowery for helping to rid the city of this worthless ass hole, Willie Herenton.

You said it right, "that he could win". But those he could, he can't,
he's just too stupid. If Thad was really a decent person, he would never mention Javier Bailey on this site. The mention of his names invites derision and Javier Bailey deserves it all.
Javier Bailey is listed as Number 1 on the list of attorney's to avoid.
Thad, I would like to see your lawyer Bailey run because he really has taken some tough cases where discrimination has been involved against a minorities. We need a scrapper in the mayor office like this guy because he will speak out for social justice. Bailey has always been a defense attorney that went after the city when they have abused there power and I like that. Most defense attornies are natural fighters and that is what you need in the mayor office. It will take a scrapper like this guy to finally get the black community of Memphis social justice.
As I have said before Wharton has been a prosecutor in his past, which would be the total opposite of Bailey's profession, because Wharton probably has done alot to keep us in jail and oppress are people. I could be wrong about this observation of Wharton's career, but that is my feelings about prosecutors. I respect the law but it takes a black man with a mindset that is alot diffrent than mine to be a prosecutor. To me are laws are built for the black man to not get a fair shake in life. It is really funny that I have these beliefs, my wife is a part of that system and me and her go back and forth about how unfair it is to minorities.
I would really like to see Bailey give it a run because that is who we need in office. The sad thing is that Wharton has a whole lot of name recognition and he is popular amongst white people which should really scare the heck out of us minorities. Wharton is not going to rock any boat if he gets in there and white folks will probably love him. He is meek negro and I cant stand a meek negro.
Before this is all over, we might create a new public office, Vice-Mayor. I don't think its a good idea for a public official to simultaneously wear two hats when they are in two branches of government. Lowery will a lame duck councilman.

"523, you are a fucking idiot"
Out of the mouth of fools like Thaddeus Matthews comes nothing.
I cannot imagaine any decent person allowing you to come onto their property for any reason other than to collect garbage for your next meal.
Javier Bailey and his backassward associates can't even figure out how to either show a correct URL for their law firm or create a WWW site. Try linking to it using the address on their letterhead. It just doesn't function, but what would you expect of this half cheek imitation of an attorney?
The Jav claims in his letter to Willie that he was retained to review the charter, but he does not say he was retained by PUSH.
Maybe it was Joe Cooper that retained him.
The Jav states in his letter that he discussed the matter with PUSH. Sounds to me like this is one of the Jav's mentally unbalanced forays into never never land. I can't imagine the Rainbow Push organization retaining Javier Bailey, and the Jav didn't say he was retained by them.
I could easily call the White House and talk to anyone on the phone then try to project that I talked to the White House about
whatever I would want to bullshit about. This is just some more of the Matthews/Javier hogwash.
All that I gleaned from Jav's letter to Willie was a request for Willie to stay around so as to keep Lowery from dumping those worthless Willie appointments.
Are you kidding me? Where did this guy go to law school..De Lar Skul of Orange Mound????
Who the hell says "On yesterday..?"
-Moron.
Let's face it, the voting will be by color so why not have consensus candidate for each culture? For Pedro, for John and for Brabrick.
"VOTE DEMOCRAT
IT'S EASIER THAN WORKING"
The suit that needs to be filed is against the City over all votes cast by Janis Fullilove while on the Council and Charter Commission. She is disfunctional by admission and before treatment used the same flawed logic that got her in trouble with the law over drinking/driving and fraudulent license application. How good could those votes be?

Hey silly ass, WHEN YOU BREAK THE LAW AND ARE CAUGHT, YOUR ASS GOES TO JAIL!
Did Wharton put a gun to the heads of your jailed brothers and make them commit crimes? I didn't think so.
So when you see any color person in jail, know for a fact that the individual put himself in that situation and not: Wharton, the white man, or his mammy or the system. We are a nation of laws and they apply EQUALLY to everyone.
You must be miserable having to look at every situation as one where you and your people are oppressed.....that's an old worn out excuse. TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOURSELVES and DO THE RIGHT THING and your asses (any color) won't be found behind bars.
My God!
"I would really like to see Bailey give it a run because that is who we need in office."
OMG.
I'm no longer a KING WILLIE fan, if he's concern about Memphis he should remain in office to prevent the needless spending of a million dollars for a election.
Thad
Stay on Orange Mound furneral Home and those bit-ches who run it. Dont let them get by with killing Mr. Alexander. Cluadettewhore and her Sister are out there getting by with murder.
1204
That was said beauifuly.
Ever thought about running for Mayor?
We as in Memphis need people who think in todays world and who look at people for who they choose to be, not how they dress ,eat,drive and their skin color or how much money they have.
God help us and Bless us all

Even worse, his paying his lawyer and also the lawyer for Joe Lee almost a half million dollars. Then a citizen files suit. Thank the Lord for that citizen, but there should have been a better way. For sure it would have been to not given have him that first job with the school system. Willie should have been out there hi jacking cars or just fighting with his fist in some smelly South Memphis Bar.
Willie is a real creep. Just thank the almighty that he is not white.
If there is going to be a lawsuit, how about one against Willie for breach of contract and make him pay for the election. He ran and won and has a duty to serve his term.(Although I am glad as hell he is gone.) By choosing to resing early, he breached his contract with the citizens. He should pay for his breach. We would not have this expense but for his vane and arrogant ambition. He wants to indulge his delusions of grandeur, let him pay for the costs of the election.
