Would he have been breaking a court order? Or feel free to explain what you would have done as governor.
Let me introduce you to the Chief Justice of the Alabama Supreme Court, Roy Moore.
Justice Moore was elected back into his office after being removed from office.
Moore was removed from office the first time he served as Chief Justice by the liberal Republican governor when Moore refused to obey a federal court order to remove a Ten Commandments monument from the Supreme Court building in Montgomery.
Bush could have been a hero like Roy Moore by refusing to obey a court order but he chose a different path.
