Holy mackerel: Judicial tyranny, much?

So, with a name like Judge Joe Dale Walker and a state like Mississippi, you think, "How bad can it be?"

Bad.

So: this is a judicial tyranny / All Your Kids Are Belong to Us Alert, in three... two... one....

CLICK

A local blogger who is potentially affected by this exercise of judicial tyranny provides more details.

HSLDA reports:
In an order filed today, the Supreme Court of Mississippi stayed all proceedings in the case involving the disclosure of the identities of homeschoolers in the Thirteenth District. Further, the court ordered Judge Joe Dale Walker to respond by April 18, 2011, and explain by what authority he issued his order of March 23, 2011, which gave rise to this controversy.

At this time it is uncertain how the Supreme Court will proceed after receiving Judge Walker’s response. It may simply issue an order disposing of the case or may require legal briefs and/or oral argument before issuing a final decision. In any event, we will keep members advised of the status of the case
For framing, see here.

But hey — he's from the government. Expert! Surely he's here to help us, right? And who better to make sure our kids are being raised and educated than someone who's at least 26 years old and has been a practicing attorney for at least five years, right?

I'm sure the MSM will be all over this. Any second now. Yep, any... second... now....

Does anything give a Christian parent greater joy than to see a child take the Word and the Gospel to heart, in faith and love?

Weekend chuckle: best o' spelling bee

(Semi-warning: a kid honestly mistakes one word for a crudity... I don't think it'll ruin anyone's sanctification.)
