Congress has power of the purse strings. Ask congress to suspend Federal judges' wages until Moore is vindicated.

The House did pass a bill to cut funding to the Judges needed to enforce their will on Moore but the Senate Club waffled...naturally.

Where is your federalism now? The control over state judges rests with the state JQC and the state bar.

Isn't his position an elected one? If so the Bar has no power to remove him only to prevent him from practicing. A judge does not practice but presides. Correct me if I'm wrong, which happens from time to time.

Congress has already addressed this, so I've heard, and they're siding with Judge Moore. Now, the issue goes to the senate.
The federal court called the judges action unconstitutional, so the state judges followed. Judge Moores constitutional rights have been violated because the federal courts had no jurisdiction in the case.
Any funding to remove the monument, and the collection of any fines, have been put on hold by congress? I still can't find this on the net yet.
Now, we wait to see what happens. The First Amendment reference was intended to protect the churches from interference by the state, not to protect a secular state from religion. It is about freedom of religion, not freedom from religion. The modern extreme separationist notion was fabricated out of thin air by the liberal-dominated Supreme Court that unconstitutionally struck down school prayer in 1962.
