"I think that Souter and his cohorts terribly misrepresented the 1st Amendment."
Who appointed Souter to the SCOTUS? I believe it was Bush the Elder. Indeed, how many of the current justices were appointed by Republicans? I believe it is seven.
This indicates to me, quite clearly, that the Republican party agrees with who is now sitting on the courts. In Alabama, how many of the judges who sat in review of Moore are Republicans?
I understand that you, personally, disagree with this decision. But, that aside, it appears that judges, appointed by Republicans, do not disagree with this decision.
Your disagreement is perfectly valid, and you have every right to believe as you wish regarding Judge Roy Moore and the state of the judiciary.
But...we really do have to remember who appointed the judges who are making the decisions you disagree with, and it wasn't liberal Democrats.

I agree - that's why I am NOT a Republican. They don't follow the U.S. constitution any better than the Democrats. They are LIGHT democrats is all. The gag reflex kicked in the other day when I saw the elder Bush giving his award to Ted Kennedy. I vote ONLY for candidates who understand the U.S. Constitution and are willing to defend it and honor their oath to it. Our founders took oaths very seriously but not today.

Let me tell you, I was incensed when Bush agreed with that racist decision for quotas in the Univ. of Michigan case. I will not vote for Bush. He speaks out of both sides of his mouth. Just the other day, he praised a homosexual church in one breath, then in the other, voiced his support for traditional marriage. Headscratching time....I am sick of politicians. I want men of character and integrity and "virtue" (there's a word you don't hear any more eh!!).
I am waiting for the day when Dr. James Dobson tells his listeners to bolt the GOP. When that happens, the GOP will go the way of the Whigs. I can't wait. It's time to teach these people just who their base is. Without evangelicals, GOP is TOAST!
