Exactly right.

Shoot, I’ve said it a thousand times, even on live television. We can’t possibly save the country at this point unless and until we learn to tell usurping judges to go to hell.

Do I detect a pattern here? That is, does AllahPundit bat for the other team?

He definitely is batting for the other team with this piece.

Roy Moore has support of most of us in Alabama.

Outstanding. You need to back him to the hilt, with everything you've got. It's critical, not just for Alabama, but for the republic.

Roy Moore is one man who REFUSES to back down ( cue the music to the song ).

In the years preceding his first election to the state Supreme Court, Moore successfully resisted attempts by a Federal Judge to have a display of the Ten Commandments removed from the courtroom because it violated “ Establishment Clause of the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution” (HOW?).

The controversy around Moore generated national attention. Moore’s supporters regard his stand as a defense of “judicial rights” and the Constitution of Alabama.

Moore contended that federal judges who ruled against his actions consider “obedience of a court order superior to all other concerns, even the suppression of belief in the sovereignty of God.

He was REMOVED from his position by the Alabama Court of the Judiciary (COJ), a panel of judges, lawyers and others appointed variously by judges, legal leaders, the governor and the lieutenant governor.

In 2011, Moore chose to enter the race for Chief Justice of the Alabama Supreme Court once again. He ran in the March 12, 2012 Republican Primary against two candidates. They were the sitting chief justice, Chuck Malone, who had been appointed to the office seven months earlier and former Democratic Attorney General Charles Graddick, who had become a Republican in 1994. Moore unexpectedly defeated both without a runoff despite being heavily outspent.

Well look at him today... he’s courting controversy once again and not backing down.

How long will it take for him to be again removed from his position by those in power?

The people of Alabama, and America, must stand with Roy Moore.

"Hence also, the origin of all civil government, justly established, must be a voluntary compact, between the rulers and the ruled; and must be liable to such limitations, as are necessary for the security of the absolute rights of the latter; for what original title can any man or set of men have, to govern others, except their own consent? To usurp dominion over a people, in their own despite, or to grasp at more extensive power than they are willing to entrust, is to violate that law of nature, which gives every man the right to his personal liberty; and can, therefore, confer no obligation to obedience."

"When human laws contradict or discountenance the means, which are necessary to preserve the essential rights of any society, they defeat the proper end of all laws, and so become null and void."

-- Alexander Hamilton

The “dirt” they’d find adheres to the Godless.

God Bless Roy Moore.

The Feds would call in troops to enforce a court order just like they did in 1957.

there’s now a reliable majority in favor, although that majority seems to be capped at around 58 or 59 percent

About the same majority that oppose ObamaCare but that wouldn't matter to you because you think majorities that disagree with you are just wrong. (Not you Seek, AllahPundit)

Does the Alabama Supreme Court issue marriage licenses?

No but they do protect and defend the State Constitution, a fact that seems to escape you.

Would you support the Feds if they sent in troops to support this BS law?

“God bless Supreme Court Justice Roy Moore and if Ted Cruz becomes president Roy Moore will be chief justice of the US Supreme Court.”

I don’t think the current Chief Justice will cooperate with that plan.

Wait a minute, this is confusing.

In post 34 you wrote, “Would you support the Feds if they sent in troops to support this BS law?”

It would appear that the only law that is in place in Alabama is that marriage can only exist between a man and a woman.

There is non other law in this discussion and as anyone who studied social studies in the 8th grade understands, only congress can make laws and the president must sign laws that are passed and he agrees with.

Judges do not make laws.

So, please explain why you believe that the law in Alabama that define marriage of only being between a man and a woman is a “BS law.”

You know what I meant. To enforce fag marriage is the BS law that the feds will eventually try to enforce on Alabama. You seem fine with that.
