Saxby Chambliss is fighting to keep his Senate seat this fall, narrowly missing the fifty percent cut-off to avoid a run-off early next month against Democratic challenger Jim Martin. Though that isn't the only thing that Chambliss is struggling against. While Saxby makes coded racial messages on the campaign trail, he and his lawyers are busily trying to keep him out of court and testifying about the negligent homicides at the Imperial Sugar factory.
From NBC Affiliate WSAV:
News Three was the first to tell you Georgia Senator Saxby Chambliss had been subpoenaed by Savannah Attorney Mark Tate in the case against Imperial Sugar. Tate, who represents families of the deceased, subpoenaed Chambliss because he believes Chambliss has pertinent information for the case.Being a U.S. Senator by no means gives Saxby the right to deny the deceased family members justice and the duty of our legal system to hold all those involved accountable for their actions. If Senator Chambliss has something to hide, the law must come at him with full force and get him on the stand. Chambliss is a known sugar-whore and it would be more than interesting to see what exactly he is trying to hide for his campaign contributors. We also already know what depths he will sink to in order to win office, therefore finding out why he's getting so much sweet and refined money can hopefully help complete the circle and kick the crook out of the Senate.
In a News Three follow-up, we've gotten word that Chambliss' lawyer is moving to quash the subpoena. Tate says attorneys for Chambliss claim he has immunity because he's a U.S. Senator.
