When Mr. Stanley was called by defense to testify, Judge Patterson questioned whether he really wanted to testify or not. The judge mentioned the Constitutional provision that guaranteed his ability not to testify, but when Mr. Stanley asked the judge to cite the provision the judge refused.

I think I found this passage just as interesting. The judge himself refused to quote the Constitution for fear that it would burn his tongue.
This story is absolutely shocking. Impeachment is in order - this judge is so arrogant as to say that he is above any written law.

I don't think that just going after this judge is enough. I think there should be an investigation of ALL of his previous cases and learn who he supports, opposes, and who ELSE'S constitutional rights this perverse individual has trampled over.
I'm glad about one thing, though: I'm glad he did this with Stanley over this issue. Talk about baiting the vipers! GO GET 'EM, RICK!!
