Rachel Lea Hunter -- Anti-War Republican

You may remember Rachel Lea Hunter as a Republican candidate last year in a crowded race for an associate judgeship on the N.C. State Supreme Court. She was a maverick then, and guess what? She's bucking even harder now. (Thanks to Stumpy for the heads-up.)

She's attacked the Bush administration as "fascist." The USA Patriot Act ... a shocking intrusion into constitutional rights. Etc.

Most of her speaking out has been on the internet, well below the radar of most of the daily media in the state. Also well below the radar is the way some prominent N.C. Republicans are attacking her for stepping out of line. Richard Vinroot, for example. You can see her response to Vinroot here on her website. There's a summary of the flying fur here.
