	The Life And Times of Judge Roy Bean

		Brennan won an Oscar for his potrayal of this self-appointed judge, notable for converting his saloon into the town courthouse and appointing his drunken patrons as jurors whenever the opportunity to hang somebody arises.

		Bean's passion for an image on a wall, a fantasy he cannot possibly attain, is clearly a tool of repression.

		Although many colorful characters have become legends of the Old West, "Hanging Judge Roy Bean," who held court sessions in his saloon along the Rio Grande River in a desolate stretch of the Chihuahuan Desert of West Texas, remains one of the more fascinating (Judge Roy Bean is pictured above).
		Calling himself the "Law West of the Pecos," he is reputed to have kept a pet bear in his courtroom (see photo of courtroom above) and sentenced dozens to the gallows, saying "Hang 'em first, try 'em later." Like most such legends, separating fact from fiction is not always so easy.

		The Roy Bean motif—the rolling of all three branches into one—that which really defines the “independent judiciary” of our times—the killer of innocent’s and of the hastily and “patriotically” indicted—this being after all a much more convincing moniker than that of the “government’s chief law enforcement officer”.
		These sclerotic judges and their up and down stream allies being religiously intent on drastically limiting the numbers who see the light of day—or who are allowed to see it for very long.
		That which the same above-noted educators and judges would no doubt regard as the subject of a hearty guffaw: but which is the only dependable defense against this conjuring of elements of overwhelming power.
