Well, the fact that you live there kind of explains what looks to me to be a suspicion that everyone is always acting out of some liberal motive. I am amazed you can stay there without your head exploding.
See, if you were here in the South, you'd know that striking Judge Roy's Ten Commandments was an aberration, so he must've been out of line. We have religious displays all over the place, and the courts allow them all the time. This very 11th Circuit allowed the Ten Commandments in a courtroom in Albany, Georgia just two weeks before they struck Judge Roy's monument. We still pray at football games, and at most graduations. So you have to know that this guy was crossing the line to get slapped down by a conservative panel the way he did. Just read it.
Remember the question I asked you about following orders? Imagine a unit commander just decides for himself that he doesn't agree with a standing order, and takes the position that he won't follow it, even if his CO tells him to. That's exactly what Judge Roy is doing - and he is also taking the position that he has more power than the Federal appeals court just because he thinks he knows better than them. This is about nothing more than his own appetite for power and publicity. Why do you think he filmed the installation, if he wasn't setting up the confrontation? Then he comes into court and gives testimony that absolutely ensures the court will rule against him? Just read it.
