And why shouldn't the interpretor stand at attention? As far as the judge make the interpreter leave-thats bull. Again, Bushs fault...sheeeeeesh. Unless the client is on trial then an interpretor is not mandatory, but the interpretor must abide by the same rules of the court everyone else is.

He ordered the interpreter out of the courtroom. How's that for a Bush appointed judge?! Many Republicans are not sympathetic to disability rights. I am tired of Republicans and want them out of office.
