(August 26, 2017 at 8:48 am)Court Jester Wrote: Contempt of court because a judge told him to stop enforcing a written law. Not that he was enforcing in improperly, or he should have enforced it differently, or a hold on the enforcement of the law because it was in the process of being changed. Those would have added different charges.
And I'm sure that there's no coincidence that the state department announced the contempt charge on the eve of early voting.
Why did the judge tell him not to uphold the law though? Perhaps there was a valid reason for it.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
