Roy Moore has support of most of us in Alabama.
And I think he should continue as your state Chief Justice. But I don't see him on the Supreme Court. Take this article for example: "I refuse to enforce this federal court ruling legalizing gay marriage." What exactly does that mean? Does the Alabama Supreme Court issue marriage licenses? I don't think they do. So in point of fact Moore doesn't enforce anything. It's up to the local administrators to refuse to uphold the law and the question is if they or your state government will do it. Moore is out of the loop. And if they do refuse and someone sues, as someone is bound to do, then it'll probably be in federal court and not state so Moore won't be able to rule against gay marriage.
What I think this is all about if another try for elected office; governor probably. He's tried that twice before.
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?
