Catching Up with Herschel Young (R-FelonyAssault, Mo.)
When Republican Herschel Young was elected commissioner of Cass County, Missouri, folks wondered if he’d be allowed to take the job, seeing as how he’s a convicted felon; see “Cass County Comish-Elect Herschel Young (R-FelonyAssault, Mo.): Boy-Basher, Boy-Kisser, or Both?,” November 9, 2010.
The good news: His election win was thrown out by a circuit judge, and Weird Herschel won’t be taking office, ever again — at least in Missouri, where convicted felons are barred from holding public office.
Young, meanwhile, says he’ll take his case “all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court.” Observes Justin Kendall: “I’m sure the high court has nothing better to do than hear a case from a man who already has a new assault charge pending against him for supposedly throwing a teenager to the ground and trying to kiss him.”
