It's Craptastic!

The Alabama chief justice whose refusal to obey a U.S. order to move a Ten Commandments monument fueled a national debate over the place of God in public life was stripped of his office by a state judicial panel on Thursday.

"Finding no other viable alternatives, this court hereby finds that Roy S. Moore be removed from his position as chief justice of Alabama," said a statement read by a member of the nine-member judicial panel.

In "Governor Ventura 'The Body' Exposed. The Man. The Mansion. The Meltdown," Creed says Ventura seldom acknowledged those who labored on his behalf and often shunned visitors. He slept on a "1970s-throwback waterbed," and sometimes left his pink feather boa on the bed, a sight Creed said "still unnerves me for reasons I can't really put my finger on."

Allen Iverson of the Philadelphia 76ers spent all day today keeping it real, the 2,548th straight day he has done so. The mark is thought to be a record for keeping it real for consecutive days by an athlete.

...

Iverson’s string of keeping it real dates back to November of 1996, when he ended a streak of 1,194 days of keeping it real at that time by watching an episode of “7th Heaven.” His previous instance of not keeping it real came in the summer of 1993 after he listened to, and enjoyed, a Bon Jovi song.

The U.S. Constitution gives us legal means to put a stop to judicial tyranny. These must be enforced by citizen action.

First, we must urge Congress to use its Article III authority to take away jurisdiction for certain issues from the Supreme Court. Specifically, Congress must pass laws that order the court to keep hands off the Pledge of Allegiance, the posting of the Ten Commandments on public property, and the voluntary assembly of public school students to pray and worship God in their schools.

Second, we should urge Congress to pass a law that would bring the Alabama Ten Commandments monument to Washington and place it in the rotunda of the U.S. Capitol.

Third, the House of Representatives should impeach any federal judge who violates his oath of office to uphold the Constitution. We need specifically to urge the impeachment of Judge Myron Thompson.
