PLENTY! If of course, shame has not lost its true value altogether. May God bless us all, as evil surely flourishes when good people do nothing!

U.S. judges have been wearing black since the use of robes dates from the period of mourning after the death of Queen Anne. Scarlet was only recently reintroduced in Maryland. Mr. Anderson:

(This was back when Charles Clark was Chief.) To my knowledge, no Chief Judge has ever taken advantage of the authorization by donning the red.
