Mervin Monroe - Judge Snyder

Judge Snyder

Judge Roy Snyder, voiced by Harry Shearer, is a Springfield judge known for his lenient punishments and somewhat unorthodox rulings (as in the episode "Sweets and Sour Marge," when he bans sugar from Springfield). The character was originally named "Judge Moulton", but show runners Bill Oakley and Josh Weinstein did not know that, and called him "Snyder". His appearance is modeled on Robert Bork. Snyder's skin color has gone back and forth between yellow and brown repeatedly throughout the series.

Famous quotes containing the words judge and/or snyder:

    I judge a man by his actions with men, much more than by his declarations Godwards—When I find him to be envious, carping, spiteful, hating the successes of others, and complaining that the world has never done enough for him, I am apt to doubt whether his humility before God will atone for his want of manliness.
    Anthony Trollope (1815–1882)

    Lodgepole
    coneseed waits for fire
    And then thin forests of silver-grey.
    in the void
    a pine cone falls
    —Gary Snyder (b. 1930)
