PUTS JOHN STEED TO SHAME:
Polygamist judge ordered removed from bench (Associated Press, Feb. 24, 2006)
A small-town judge with three wives was ordered removed from the bench by the Utah Supreme Court on Friday.Posted by Orrin Judd at February 24, 2006 5:33 PMThe court unanimously agreed with the findings of the state's Judicial Conduct Commission, which recommended the removal of Judge Walter Steed for violating the state's bigamy law.
Steed has served for 25 years on the Justice Court in the polygamist community of Hildale in southern Utah, where he ruled on such matters as drunken driving and domestic violence cases.
Imagine having to tell all three of your wives that you've been fired.

I know, surely one is tough enough. Why does this guy insist on punishing himself like this?
Posted by: Matt Murphy at February 24, 2006 6:00 PMi used to think having two wives would be pretty fun...then i got married.
Posted by: toe at February 24, 2006 6:09 PMNo wonder Jews aren't polygamists. If David Cohen's theory is right, the Judge would have had to endure THREE chair dances. Surely no man is that . . . .great?
Posted by: John Resnick at February 24, 2006 6:52 PMwonder if this guy used multiple gavels.

Posted by: John at February 25, 2006 12:24 AMI actually think 2 wives might be a great idea. As long as I get to be the wife that sits at home all day eating bonbons.
