Don't get me wrong, I think the nuns' intent was awesome and I hope it made a point. But let's remember that judges uphold the law. The law as it now stands, not as we want it to stand someday. And we should know that as we voice our views. If anything, it sounds to me like the judge used discretion in the sentence, but had to hand down something...so community service it was. I don't know too much about the legalities of the case. I'm just saying that judges have a job to do, which we are aware of as we make our voice heard. But again, I think the nuns did a great thing in making their point.

What does the judge think nuns do? I cannot believe the idiocy in the courts. What does the judge think nuns do?
