If you loved Alabama’s Judge Roy Moore…

Judge wears his beliefs in court

MONTGOMERY, ALA. - A judge refused to delay a trial Tuesday when an attorney objected to his wearing a judicial robe with an embroidered Ten Commandments on the front.

Circuit Judge Ashley McKathan showed up Monday at his Covington County courtroom wearing the robe. Attorneys who try cases at the courthouse said they had not seen him wear it before. The Commandments were described as big enough to read by anyone near the judge.

Attorney Riley Powell filed a motion objecting to the robe and asked that a case he was defending be continued. He said McKathan denied both motions.

The judge said the Ten Commandments represent the truth "and you can't divorce the law from the truth."

Ah… right! I wonder which version of the Commandments and the truth the judge favors?
