Noah S. Sweat

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Judge Noah S. "Soggy" Sweat, Jr. was a judge, law professor and state representative in Mississippi, notable for his 1952 speech on the floor of the Mississippi state legislature concerning whiskey, which is considered a classic example of political doublespeak. Reportedly the speech took Sweat 2 1/2 months to write [1].

Judge Sweat was also the founder of the Mississippi Judicial College of the University of Mississippi Law Center.[2]
