Judge Larry Buffington Self Destructs

What is going on with Judge Larry Buffington? First he made a public order to the Simpson County Board of Supervisors to hire his friend Oliver Diaz to be a youth court public defender (when other public defenders were doing the job) so he could get his state retirement. Then he demanded to know who leaked this public information to the press! So he subpoenaed the two Republican supervisors (because Judge Buffington is so nonpartisan) to appear before him.

Now, the supervisors have moved to quash his order because - get this - he didn't do it properly and had no authority to do it. Somebody talk this guy down from the ledge, he is embarrassing himself. Read their motion here courtesy of Y'all Politics.

Oh yeah, did we mention that PERS rejected Diaz for retirement benefits anyway?
