Judge honors origin of law.(The Goodness Of America)
Readers of THE NEW AMERICAN are very familiar with the Ten Commandments controversy surrounding then-Alabama Supreme Court Chief Justice Roy Moore. Moore first attracted national attention when, as an Alabama state circuit judge, he hung a homemade plaque of the Ten Commandments in his courtroom. Upon being elected as chief justice of the state Supreme Court, Justice Moore installed a granite monument of the Ten Commandments in the Alabama Supreme Court rotunda. (See "Defender of the Decalogue" in THE NEW AMERICAN for December 16, 2002.) That monument has since been removed, following a directive from U.S. District Judge Myron Thompson.
Now another Alabama jurist, Circuit Judge Ashley McKathan, has taken a slightly different approach to reinforcing the connection between the Ten Commandments, which underpin all law in Judeo-Christian society, and the administration of justice. The judge had each of the Ten Commandments embroidered in golden-yellow lettering on his solid black judicial robe!
