Ten Commandments Robe
Causes Stir
The Mobile Register -- Two days after Presiding Circuit Court Judge
Ashley McKathan donned a robe in court displaying the Ten Commandments on
his chest, staffers were busy fielding calls from media outlets and
supporters across the nation..."What
sort of name is Ashley for a guy?," asked a number of callers, but these calls were
considered distractionary and staffers quickly and efficiently terminated
their conversation.
No, most of the calls were those of praise
or envy, both enjoyed in equal amounts by Judge Ashley. "Where can I get me one of
those ten commandment robes," was a major theme according to staffer Betty Grisham, who added that
there were also a number of judges looking for just one or two special
commandments, but with larger print.
Judge Ashley's robe has already started a
mini-fad throughout the Florida judiciary. Judges have been seen wearing
robes with messages as diverse as 'The Bill of Rights' and 'The
Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam'.
