📰 News we're reading

• Senate confirms Trump nominees for Mississippi federal judgeships (enterprise-journal.com) — A Hernando resident, Mississippi Supreme Court Justice Robert Chamberlin, has been confirmed by the U.S. Senate to serve as a federal judge for the Northern District of Mississippi, alongside Justice James Maxwell of Oxford. Their confirmations, once delayed by an unrelated North Carolina tribal recognition dispute, mean a local Hernando figure will now help shape major federal decisions affecting North Mississippi.
   

• DeSoto Co. judge returns to bench for the first time since arrest (wreg.com) — A DeSoto County judge is back on the bench after a DUI arrest that began with a Hernando police traffic stop on West Valley. Newly released Hernando police body camera footage shows officers’ interactions before the arrest, while many residents now question whether she should hear cases, including multiple DUIs, before her own case is resolved.
   

• DeSoto DA vows legal action against a "DEI" Judicial Sub-District (desotocountynews.com) — From his office in Hernando, DeSoto County’s district attorney is vowing legal action against a new state law that creates a majority-minority judicial sub-district affecting local court elections. He argues the plan lets a small slice of voters choose a judge with countywide power, raising concerns about fairness, accountability, and future political control in DeSoto County.
