Pat, I mean Judge Kelly, is completely willing to do so when he thinks its right and in the interest of justice.

As a matter of legal procedure, Judge Kelly's opinion assumed the truth of Raymark's main contentions.

Not surprisingly, Judge Kelly's decision has divided the bar along predictable lines.

In 2005 Judge Kelly received the Firefighter of the Year Award.

It's hard to see how the man who threatens to cut Judge Kelly into little pieces is choosing life.

In addition, a man was arrested outside Judge Kelly's home after the judge and his wife said he had confronted them as they took a walk.

The leaders were released last week after they told Judge Kelly that they did not intend to participate in any more blockades at the clinics.

Last week Judge Kelly threatened to jail any protester arrested more than once.

Still, Judge Kelly was taking no chances.

That is where the protesters have taken their appeal of Judge Kelly's order, arguing that the Federal courts lack jurisdiction.
