The former Union County Republican Party chairman will have to wait until November, and after the election, to have his day in court against North Carolina's top elected official.

John Barker's almost comical legal battle with Gov. Mike Easley regarding an inappropriate comment made during a conversation with a state employee in August was continued Thursday after Barker and his attorney chose not to accept a plea deal.

Barker expressed frustrations over the deductions from his disability check to a state employee, and uttered something like "What the hell do I have to do, come up there and shoot the governor."

The comment landed Barker an arrest warrant nearly two months later and set the saga in motion.
