The News-Sentinel home edition has a chart which didn't appear in the story on the Web [1]. The chart summarizes the positions of all the parties before the Court. It shows the position that the Sheriff, the County Trustee, and the County Clerk have taken on the validity of the charter and term limits to be "Valid if his job exempted." I suspect the News-Sentinel's summary is not an exact quote, yet is somehow accurate. The article doesn't say if Shelby County submitted any argument to the Court. I'm surprised if they didn't, since their situation is almost identical to Knox County's.
