Why is it that the next time someone enters Myron H. Thompson's courtroom to give testemony about this or that they will have to place their hand on a Bible and swear to GOD to tell the truth? Am I missing something?

They don't have to.

Swearing on a Bible is now optional, in federal court, and in most states.

Give them time. Soon they will take the Bible out of the courtroom, the way they are trying to remove Judge Moore from the bench.

God Bless Judge Moore!
