Is it wrong to think that the sooner "Judge" Roy gets to go talk to god, the better...?

But the passages on communal property are pretty scary, at least to the Christianists who pretend never to have heard of them.

"I could recuse or dissent, as a justice from Delaware did in the Dred Scott case in 1857."

Yes, two justices did dissent from Dred Scott. (Neither of them was from Delaware.) They could do that because they were *on the Supreme Court*, which you're not, Roy, so no, you can't "dissent." And guess what? Many Supreme Court rulings these days have as many as *four* justices dissenting, and if you ask them, they'll tell you that doesn't mean the ruling doesn't count (though Scalia would probably get a dreamy look in his eyes for a bit in response to the question.)

Well, I had breakfast with God this morning. He heard there was a kook who wanted to file his briefs with Him. He told me He doesn't need any more briefs.....he bought a bunch at Target....I picked up the tab....

If our laws are God-given, why are only three of the Ten Commandments actual crimes in our justice system? And, keeping in mind that the Biblical punishment for disobeying God was almost always death, which of the other seven would Judge Moore propose making capital crimes? How about Number Four? That'll teach you to shop and watch football on Sunday!

Alabama's big mistake was letting judges "waive in" from Mississippi.
