We’re thinking about the dignity, class, and elegance of the Tennessee Senators in terms of former President, Donald Trump’s political scandal of classified documents.

The U.S. Constitution Article I. Section 1. says “All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives.” Section 3 says “The Senate of the United States shall be composed of two Senators from each State, chosen by the Legislature thereof, for six Years; and each Senator shall have one Vote.”

Mr. Bill Hagerty and Ms. Marsha Blackburn are the U.S. Senators from the great State of Tennessee.

According to the Congress website, a Senator from Tennessee, William Francis (Bill) Hagerty was born in Gallatin, Tenn., August 14, 1959; graduated Madisonville North Hopkins High School, Madisonville, Ky., 1977; B.A., Vanderbilt University, 1981; J.D., Vanderbilt University, 1984; management consultant; White House Fellow and staff member during the George H. W. Bush administration; co-founder and managing director, private equity investment firm; commissioner of the Tennessee Department of Economic and Community Development 2011-2014; U.S. Ambassador to Japan 2017-2019; elected as a Republican to the United States Senate in 2020 for the term ending January 3, 2027.

According to the Congress website, Marsha Blackburn, a Senator and a Representative from Tennessee was born in Laurel, Jones County, Miss., June 6, 1952; graduated from Northeast Jones High School, Laurel, Miss.; B.S. Mississippi State University, Starkville, Miss., 1973; business owner; private advocate; unsuccessful candidate for election to the One Hundred Third Congress in 1992; member of the Tennessee state senate, 1998-2002; elected as a Republican to the One Hundred Eighth and to the seven succeeding Congresses (January 3, 2003-January 3, 2019); was not a candidate for reelection to the House of Representatives but was elected as a Republican to the United States Senate in 2018 for the term ending January 3, 2025.

Senator Blackburn should think about the dignity, class, and elegance of a Tennessee Senator in terms of former President Trump’s scandal of classified documents whenever she appears and talks on Fox News or so-called “conservative media”. The CORE of the political rhetorics by Senator Blackburn doesn’t seem to have solid base or at least they sound hasty or impetuous as of this moment in time.

In terms of the scandal of classified documents, everything should be based on ‘FACTS’. Invetigations and political comments should be based on the facts, not on political positions or ideological preferences let alone to the judical decisions at the end of process which should be neutral, accurate, and objective.

Senator Hagerty is not talking like that yet. He seems to have been silent in mainstream media in terms of those issues. He is, therefore, producing political sentiment or evaluation that he is more PRUDENT or maturer than Senator Blackburn.

Tennessee Senators should not be, or at least don’t have to be Fox News commentators, arguably at least some of whom tend to be irresponsible and superficial. The Tennessean people didn’t elect such TV commentators as their respectful Senators, especially in terms of the DIGNITY, CLASS, and ELEGANCE of the Tennessee Senators. So the Tennessee Senators should be different from TV commentators.

The Tennessee Senators are not the Fox News commentators. We’re thinking about the dignity, class, and elegance of the Tennessee Senators.

Tennessee Code 28-3-104 (a)(1) starts like this – “Except as provided in subdivision (a)(2), the following actions shall be commenced within one (1) year after the cause of action accrued”.

Within 28-3-104 (a)(1), there are (A), (B), and (C). (A) Actions for libel, injuries to the person, false imprisonment, malicious prosecution, or breach of marriage promise; (B) Civil actions for compensatory or punitive damages, or both, brought under the federal civil rights statutes; and (C) Actions for statutory penalties.

This editorial argues that “within one (1) year after…” should be at least “within three (3) year after…”.

For example, if you end up being injured seriously by a car wreck, you can understand that 1 year is not that long enough to file a civil complaint. It can take several months or more than six months to recover physicall and emotionally from the injuries, and it can take several months to find and consult a right attorney.

That’s not the end of the story. Legal malpractice is not that rare around Memphis in Tennessee. Actually it is allegedley pretty common. So, if your attorney is a legal professional who deceive you, make hidden deals with potential defendants, or make “mistakes” intentionally(they are intentional, so they are not mistakes. So they are intentions.), then you can notice or realize that you don’t have enough time to file a lawsuit.

Who can benefit from such short ‘limitation of actions’? Usually corporations, professionals, and arguably white-collar criminals can benefit from that. Who can lose heavily from the current Tennessee Code 28-3-104 (a)(1)? They can be innocent indivisuals who are injured and who deserve fair compensation.

Tennessee Code 28-3-104 (a)(1) is a big problem in the State of Tennessee. It has to be fixed.
