A district court judge has asked local officials to remove religious references...What happens if some nitwit judge decides to remove legal references?

O'Reilly has been so right about this secularist, no judgements ever, thing.
This is starting to get serious with all that's going on from these wacko, secularist, anti-judgement, pushers.

Well the old boy is out there, I'll give him that....
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — An Iredell County district judge was wrong to order a teenager convicted of vandalizing a school to wear a sign that said "I AM A JUVENILE CRIMINAL" when she went out in public, the state Court of Appeals ruled Tuesday.
The order to wear the 12-inch-by-12-inch sign was set as a special condition of the girl's probation after the 14-year-old admitted breaking into a middle school in Iredell County with three other juveniles in October 2000 and doing about $60,000 worth of damage to school property.
The girl was expelled from the ninth grade and ordered by District Judge James Honeycutt in February 2001 to wear the sign whenever she went out in public for the remainder of the school year
I suppose that's the same judge

What business is it of the court what religion the witnesses/defendants/litigants are? That sort of information could only bias a jury. Everyone should have the right to a fair trial, regardless of their religion. That means nobody should know the religions of the parties involved unless they volunteer the information or it is somehow relevant to the case.

He's re-elected. He won in 2002 and is up again in 2006. Bet you he won't win with that 'popular' opinion either...

I hope this judge gets voted out in 2006. I'd like to know what party he's from?

If he doesn't like hearing "so help me God" he can quit and find some job were he won't have to hear it. Jerk.

To: Libloather
"Honeycutt is one of nine judges who preside over District Court sessions in the 22nd Judicial District, which includes Alexander, Davidson, Davie and Iredell counties. He wrote that his request applies only to his own sessions, not to those presided over by other judges."
Checking him out, Honeycutt is not a federal judge. I wonder what kind of an oath he took when he was sworn in? The problem with most judges, is they like to be senators, congressmen, and yes presidents. To many want to rewrite our Constitution. The way the supreme clowns arrived at the so called establishment clause is the biggest joke dumped on the American public. In my opinion, judges should be reeled in, and be held to term limits.

"I believe that the burden should not be on those individuals to speak up and request an oath that does not mention God or use the Christian Bible," Honeycutt wrote. This is nothing but looking for face time; this guy must be running in November.
I've been a court reporter in North Carolina and we ALWAYS ask people if they want to SWEAR or AFFIRM.
Gawd, I hate these people.
