M. Ashley McKathan is a circuit court judge in Covington County, Alabama, and presides from the bench at the county courthouse in Andalusia. Last December 13, Judge McKathan began wearing a judicial robe in his courtroom upon which he had the Ten Commandments embroidered in gold lettering. Within two days, the national news media were reporting on the judge's action, drawing immediate comparisons to former Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore's battle to place a Ten Commandments monument in the state Supreme Court rotunda. Judge McKathan was interviewed for THE NEW AMERICAN by Warren Mass. (See "The Goodness of America" in THE NEW AMERICAN for January 24 for a related story.)
