Claim: Republican Attorney and Senator Brian Kelsey represents clients free of charge whose constitutional rights have been violated; he attended law school at Georgetown, and has sponsored amendments to the Tennessee constitution.
Evidence: Republican Kelsey works as a constitutional lawyer for the Liberty Justice Center, representing clients throughout the country for free whose constitutional rights have been violated. In 2010, Kelsey won re-election for a full term as the Senator from the Thirty-First District. He earned his J.D. from Georgetown University. The Juris Doctor degree (J.D. or JD), also known as the Doctor of Jurisprudence degree (J.D., JD, D.Jur. or DJur), is a graduate-entry professional degree in law and one of several Doctor of Law degrees. Kelsey is the only legislator in Tennessee history to sponsor two successful amendments to the state constitution: one forever prohibited a state income tax, and the other followed a Founding Fathers model for selecting appellate judges.
