Judicial review? I don't need no stinking judicial review.

You know all you smarter guys arguing about public servants ignoring laws and courts and just doing what they want, and how its might be okay?
Better wrap that shit up right quick.
The 10 Commandment Judge is considering a run for the presidency.
http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/htm..._moore01m.html

Quote:
he has the trappings of a candidacy, including a following and a stump speech. Saturday night, ushers with red, white and blue buckets collected donations as the emcee assured people. "We're not keeping any of it. It's all going to the judge," he said. So does the $50 it cost to have a photo taken with Moore.

As a lower-court judge, Moore was sued over the Ten Commandments plaque he hung on his courtroom wall. In 2000, he was overwhelmingly elected chief justice of the Alabama Supreme Court.

He had a 5,280-pound monument to the commandments installed in the rotunda of the state courts building and was sued for violating the separation of church and state.

He lost his job when a special ethics panel ruled against him in November for defying a court order to remove the monument. At his trial, the presiding judge said Moore should be removed in part because he had not shown contrition.

"I didn't then, and I do not now," he said Saturday to a rousing standing ovation.

Moore takes the stage after a video outlines his case with stirring music, huge undulating American flags and clips of Moore and his supporters in Alabama.

He quotes the nation's founders at great length, tells of Alice in Wonderland having a conversation with Humpty Dumpty and mixes in some jokes seemingly as old as the Gospels. ("A priest, a judge and a Boy Scout are on an airplane ... ").
He also doesn't think Pryor is really a conservative, if it's any comfort to you guys.
