Hours after being told to remove his electronic tether by one judge Thursday, embattled Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick was ordered by another judge to put it back on, a game of legal pingpong between his two separate criminal cases.
Kilpatrick also gained, then quickly lost, a break in travel restrictions that could have allowed him to attend the Democratic National Convention in Denver this month. The point might have been moot anyway: The mayor is a superdelegate, but a spokesman for presumptive nominee Barack Obama said Kilpatrick isn't wanted there.
The day began when a judge overseeing Kilpatrick's arraignment on perjury and other charges said the mayor could get rid of the tether around his ankle and attend the convention.
By afternoon, however, another judge handling assault charges against the mayor signed an order emphasizing that the tether remains a condition of release in the assault case. It was back on the mayor's ankle nearly four hours after it was removed.

I’m sure somehow this guy’s “troubles” are whitey’s or Bush’s fault.
Kwame has to be laughing....only in Detroit would have two opposing judges where each thinks totally different, and you’ve got the dumb luck of having charges in each courtroom.
At the end of this....it ought to be a opera of some sort...with the fat lady coming out at the end to signal the end.
That this thug was actually elected mayor of Detroit is a real commentary on that city.
I didn’t think there was room under the bus for one more!
I think the dems have so many PC’s in their ranks that it says all that needs to be said about them.
Typical black mayor.
Wasn’t he ‘reelected’ too?

Here's one.
Kwame used the old Democrat mind trick on the judge.
Kwame a river....
That's debatable. Kwame was losing all night by healthy margins during the election until the wee hours of the morning (2am) when he finally took the lead. Lots of evidence of corruption and vote-tampering. The Detroit Elections Clerk is as corrupt as they come. Nobody really believes Kwame won re-election fairly.
Even if he did win fairly, it wouldn’t be surprising.
Didn’t Coleman Young get reelected a bunch of times, during his tenure destroying the city?

Yeah. The city's white population rioted.
The thing is, white people riot with moving vans.
LOL! Clever!
