any reason alabama state supreme court justice roy moore should not be paying $5,000 / day in contempt-of-court fines? if he were to be held in contempt (looks like that won't happen), the state would be liable for that fine (details via AP via WaPost). that seems backwards to me.
well, at least i'm able to take some comfort in the fact that justice is level-headed back down home in the south, where the lib'ruls haven't taken over yet.
by the way, i notice that arrested protesters were cited and released immediately. i don't seem to recall those being the tactics during IMF/World Bank protests up here in Our Nation's Capital. i wonder if any of the alabama resistance movement had to urinate on themselves as their wrists started to bleed under the abrasion of plastic handcuffs as they were held for hours on buses, unable to use a restroom. hmm. i guess god's people get better habeas corpus.
