NJ Judge Resigns Over His Film About Obama's 'Deal With The Devil'
Rachel Slajda | May 7, 2010

A municipal court judge in New Jersey resigned this week after the state Supreme Court advised him not to promote his new movie -- a satire about President Obama's life that depicts him making a deal with the devil in order to become a communist dictator.

"It put me in an impossible position," the ex-judge, Kenneth Del Vecchio, told TPM in an interview today. "I had two choices: Either I could remain as a judge and shut up and have no free speech rights whatsoever ... or I had to resign."

Del Vecchio, a prolific filmmaker and author, produced, wrote and stars in "O.B.A.M. Nude," a movie about a coke-addled college student who sells his soul to the devil in order to impose his socialist will on the country. Satan starts him out by hooking him up with the "Righteous Reverend," a "close friend" of the devil's.

1. I am getting tired of the 'free speech' defense

There is also something called good manners. And another thing called common sense.

2. "Civility" comes to mind also!

3. Common Sense and his friend Good Manners

walked out the door when Barack Obama was elected. They took their friend The Golden Rule with them with a sack over his head. We were left with a pack of Nopers who are yipping and howling as they chase their tails. ;-(

5. He's a judge

He forfeits some of his rights to that

My father is a retired federal judge -- Labor Judge

He almost never went to the grocery store (Mom did) because if he regularly went to a store and there was a strike he couldn't not go in because it would be implied that he was supporting an action by labor that may or may not wind up before him.

You lose a lot of leeway when you get one of those black robes -- Unless you're Scalia or that dingus in West Virginia

[Iggo]

4. "I had two choices..."

No, judge. You had two options. You had one choice: the choice between those two options. Dipshit.

I hate it when people do that.

Carry on...

6. It sounds terrible

I'm not going to watch the trailer, but I think he might wish he kept his day job.
