Alabama Chief Justice Drayton Nabers laying the ever-loving smack down on his Republican primary opponent, Justice Tom Parker, with a description of the differences between them: "I believe in working hard and I believe in the rule of law."

Meanwhile, Parker's campaign spokesman accused a majority of the state Supreme Court of conspiring to prevent the release of any new decisions by Parker before the Republican primary. Another spokesman revealed that Parker's productivity in the last six months has exceeded the court's average, at least if you use the measurement system he developed instead of looking at things like what a third spokesman called the "silly numbers game," a.k.a. number of opinions released.
