I'm still waiting for sink to produce the "establishment clause" from the constitution he's using. Just to be sure we're talking about the same constitution. Again, this ain't rocket science. The establishment clause in my constitution doesn't give the courts any authority to steal my, or anyone else's right to practice religion anywhere and at any time we please. That would include an Alabama supreme court justice also.

Constitutional Law is more than just the text of the constitution. The 11th Circuit is also BOUND by every previous decision on this issue made by SCOTUS. You are relying on strict verbage from the 1st Ammendment. However, as a matter of law the first ammendment as it applies to church/state is much more voluminous than you might imagine. I understand completely that you disagree with their decision, and probably assume that I agree with the court decision ... but you know what assumptions can do ... the issue at hand is not whether or not the decision was correct, but whether the court has appropriate jurisdiction and authority. They do. Judge Moore defied their authority and must face the consequences. AG Pryor is acting appropriately to uphold his oath and defend the integrity of the legal system within AL. I'm sorry you don't like it ... but the beauty of our Republic is the ability to change things we don't like.
Does the chief justice of the Alabama supreme court have the right to erect a monument to the Five Pillars of Islam in the rotunda of the Alabama state judicial building? Why or why not?
