Sway-yah on Dat Bible, You Sombeech

A North Carolina district judge says that trial witnesses cannot use the Koran for oaths in court.

The Greensboro (N.C.) News & Record reports that Guilford County's top judge, W. Douglas Albright, says North Carolina law is clear that the only legitimate oaths are those made on "Holy Scriptures."

"Everybody understands what the holy scriptures are," Albright previously told the Greensboro paper. "If they don't, we're in a mess."

One supposes the same could be said about a judge not understanding the Constitution.
