  Judge Dread - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Judge Dread died on stage in The Penny Theatre, Canterbury.
The Guinness Book of World Records credits Judge Dread for having the most banned songs of all time.
His ability to write lyrics with rhyme, a sexually perverted message and at the same time make you laugh is a very special one and naturally it is unlikely that you will ever hear him on the radio because of the nature of his lyrics.

A judge can also be simply a qualified person who evaluates and passes judgement on anything; for example, a judge at a county fair might award prizes to the best cattle or best home-made jam; a judge at a dog show determines which of several dogs best meets the standards for the breed.
Judges are considered to be the leaders of one of the three branches of government, the judiciary.
Being a judge is usually a prestigious position in society, and as a result a variety of solemn traditions have become associated with the occupation.

In the '90s, Presiding Judge Donald Londer had her run the misdemeanor and drug dockets, where she drew praise from some for running a tight ship, but also criticism for pressuring lawyers to get their clients to plea-bargain to help relieve the court's backlog of cases.
Given the gravity of her goal, Baker's hearings are deceptively casual: She is wont to veer into personal conversations about her ex-husband or her recent trip to visit family in Alaska, where, she is happy to say, she caught halibut, saw moose and eagles, and filleted 17 salmon in record time.
The complaint contends that Stebbeds was not adequately notified of his need for a lawyer, and that the judge was not impartial and should have recused herself from the probation-violation hearing.

I was at college in the early 70s and in the pub next to the hall of residence the Judge's songs were a popular jukebox choice amongst my fellow students.
A time of youthful rebellion and burgeoning sexual experience, the songs' popularity probably lay more in their x-rated content than in any particular enthusiasm for Ska.

Judge Nicholas Medawar QC rolled his eyes at defence arguments and showed personal animosity towards a barrister, the Court of Appeal heard.

Having spent four days wrangling about the meaning of the law in the absence of the jury, the judge then blithely informed the jury that their task was an easy one and the law quite a simple matter.
Judge King-Hamilton also intervened in the course of the defence presentations, often making rude, even scathing, remarks to Geoffrey Robertson, then an up-and-coming, brilliant young lawyer, although I have to say that he was obsequious to a fault towards John Mortimer QC.
It was in his summing-up, in particular, that Judge King-Hamilton spoke to the jury in such a manner as to be giving the impression that he was almost advising them that all right-minded people would want to convict.

 Observer | Judge dread
For some reason that I have never understood, senior judges and Law Lords such as Lord Hutton are invariably described in the press as either eminent or distinguished.
Another common mistake, as I know from my own experience, is to imagine that there is some connection between a judge's behaviour during the trial and his eventual judgment.
All this in the cause of what are called animal rights, though when millions of animals are slaughtered and eaten every day, it is hard to see that the expression has any meaning.

 William Rehnquist - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The vacancy left by Rehnquist's death came just over two months after Associate Justice Sandra Day O'Connor's July 1, 2005, announcement that she would retire from the Court, leaving two vacancies to be filled by President George W. Bush.
On September 5, 2005, President Bush withdrew the Associate Justice nomination of Judge John Roberts of the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals, and instead nominated him to replace Rehnquist as Chief Justice.
Roberts was confirmed by the U.S. Senate and sworn in as the new Chief Justice on September 29, 2005.

 AlterNet: Part II: DeLay's Judge Dread
Citing a Supreme Court order forcing the Virginia Military Institute to admit women, DeLay alleged federal judges were exceeding their constitutional authority and it was up to the legislature to rein them in.
Instead, DeLay argued, whenever a judge ruled in ways that "usurped the powers of Congress," he or she should face impeachment.
Since "intimating judges" in order to influence their judgments is a crime, DeLay's self-stated goal of doing so might itself have been grounds for impeachment -- his own.

 Judge dread | Opinion | LeafSalon
Because this country is small; because the pool of people willing to judge is tiny (so you get the same names coming up again and again), and because of the committee form of judging, some wildly skewed decisions are made.
If you’re a solo judge, at the very least you tend to be aware (because the literary community here is so tiny) of how any entry you have may fare since the name is generally made quite public.
Our contact thought solo judges for each category could be the answer, and we tend to agree … perhaps in the not-too-distant future that great democratic leveller, the internet review, will take over the judging process.

Perhaps Judge Friedman empathizes with madmen because he himself is a loony Leftist.
The stench from these judges later mingled with that of Clinton corruption and scandal cases that arrived at this court’s door.
And now Judge Friedman has unleashed in Washington, D.C., only blocks from the White House, a man who nearly assassinated one Republican President and has shown recurrent evidence of lying to psychiatrists and retaining his obsessions.

Judge Dread was a strong presence on the UK singles charts from 1972 to 1978 with some of these songs.
This is not for the politically correct, however, since Dread's lyrics were intended to offend and most of these songs were banned by the BBC.
The Judge's art consisted in taking nursery rhymes, adapting the words to the downright rude and backing these with foot-tapping riddims and hummable tunes.

In the last few months, judges have rejected government arguments on issues ranging from closed immigration hearings and new rules for the use of intrusive surveillance against US citizens to a flout on the identities of those swept up in the feds’ post-9/11 dragnet.
The rhetoric of one recent judicial rejection of the wholesale closure of deportation hearings at the direction of the Office of the Chief Immigration Judge (a practice initiated at Ashcroft’s behest via a September 21, 2001, memo by US chief immigration judge Michael J. Creppy) is representative.
In April and May, federal district-court judges ruled that the blanket ban instituted last September at Ashcroft’s direction was unconstitutional.

Judy serves as judge, jury, therapist, prosecutor, defense attorney, or impartial arbiter as the mood takes her, changing roles whenever she tires of taking any particular side.
This is a concrete image of abject powerlessness, one made all the more troubling by how many of us seem enchanted by the notion that there's something essentially good and moral about all this--a restoration of order, even.

 Master Plan
What we are witnessing is the creation of a "commander-in-chief state," where the form and pressure of law no longer apply to the president and his designated agents.
In a chilling decision, the judges ruled that the Commander's arbitrarily designated "enemies" are nonpersons: Neither the Geneva Conventions nor American military and domestic law apply to such garbage.
Bush is now free to subject anyone he likes to his self-concocted "military tribunal" system, a brutal sham that retired top U.S. military officials have denounced as a "kangaroo court" that tyrants around the world will cite in order to hide their oppression under U.S. precedent.

One of the First Things symposiasts was former judge and law professor Robert Bork, who did disavow some of the more extreme proposals.
One is to finish off any reputation that Judge Bork, who once studied economics at the University of Chicago, might have retained as even vaguely sympathetic to libertarian ideas and concerns.

A federal judge who has been presiding over a case filed against Texaco by Indians in Ecuador has a potential conflict of interest, say lawyers for the plaintiffs, who filed a motion on Friday requesting that the judge recuse himself.
The suit was filed in 1993 on behalf of thousands of Ecuadoreans who say Texaco's oil development there led to pollution and dire health problems.
In 1997, Judge Jed S. Rakoff dismissed the case, saying it had no basis in American courts, but he was overruled by a federal appeals court that sent the case back to him in October 1998.
