Roy Moore — man of principle, not politics — dominates in Alabama Senate race

It turns out that millions of dollars of special-interest cash, the support of the entire party infrastructure, and the endorsement from President Trump were enough to buy Luther Strange second place ***. ***

***

Luther Strange, if elected to continue in office, will be a McConnell and K Street hack, no question. But there are several other important points to Roy Moore’s possible election.

***

Second, judicial supremacy is the vital issue of our time. In many ways, it supersedes other issues, but that is because it also defines and absorbs almost every domestic issue. And now, with the courts taking over issues like immigration and social engineering in the military, judicial supremacy absorbs questions of national security as well. This is not merely a disagreement over policy issues; it’s a question of what system of government we adopted in 1789. Do we have three co-equal branches of government with 50 states in a parallel federalist system, or do we have judicial supremacy as the sole and final arbiter of every issue?

I support Roy Moore because we need an originalist in the Senate who understands the power of the non-judicial branches over constitutional interpretation. What Roy Moore did in standing for marriage and the Ten Commandments was a display of what others claim to support but are too scared (or apathetic) to actually follow. He warned us that if a puny district judge could nullify the Constitution, natural law, the Declaration, settled case law, rules of standing, and the Tenth Amendment — and then regard his ruling as “the law of the land” — then we have no republic. Now we are seeing that Judge Moore was ahead of his time, even if he fought a lonely battle.

Judge Moore is right: the only power delegated to federal courts by the Constitution is the power to decide cases and controversies. The courts cannot enact, amend, or invalidate statutes.

Big Luther is a little messy.

He also dropped the investigation into Gov. Bentley paying his mistress with dark money and allow her to run the State of Alabama in exchange for the senate seat.

I’m all for Judge Moore, domy know why Trump is stuck on Luther, he needs to clean house and get with our own folks up in Congress, Trumps people are following an ideal, Trump can carry that forward or miss out. But as of now it will take a lot for me to dump Trump, and im not even close.

...domy know why Trump is stuck on Luther, he needs to clean house...

It's traditional for the president, the leader of his party, to be a "straight party" man and endorse the incumbent of his party in a primary -- or be silent. The last president to try to purge his political enemies in a primary and replace them with allies was FDR in 1938. Congressional Democrats and the DNC had a fit, and Roosevelt never did it again.

Moore is the Trump of the Judicial branch.

Bold and popular and against the swamp.

I don’t pretend to know what possesses Trump to endorse the Romney of the Judicial branch instead.

If Trump is bargaining our trust away behind the scenes with McConnell, then the swamp is winning.

Everyone I personally know in Alabama is voting for Judge Roy Moore.

Don’t know about FReepers.

You folks need to get conservatives/patriots who did not vote in the primary to come out and vote for Moore in the September runoff. Mitch McConnell and his corruptocrats no doubt are having Haley Barbour's co-conspirators jinn up some dirty tricks.

Yep - if we want Judge Moore to terrorize McConnell, he needs our support.
