Politics: First Good News We've Had All Day

According to the Charlottesville Daily Progress, a partner in a law firm and a 23-year veteran of the bench (he was a part-time district court judge) has resigned his judicial position so he can speak out against the pending war in Iraq.

The judge, Ronald R. Tweel, sent a copy of his resignation letter to his congressman and senators. In it he calls an invasion of Iraq "one of the biggest foreign policy mistakes of my lifetime."

Well said, Judge.
