This is kind of scary folks . . . I'm not a Christian Conservative, but this whole deal gives me the creeps. What can be done?

INTREP - SAD DAY FOR JUDICIAL AND RELIGIOUS FREEDOM

[11th Earl of Mar]

This decision should not scrare you.

Moore's arguments were much like the arguments that have been made many other times... "My religion prohibits me from filing a federal tax return.... My allegience is to God, not man, so I cannot obey a judge's order to do this or that..."

If Moore desired to be a martyr, he should stop complaining about being martyred.

[Sunshine Sister]

Yes it is a sad day. Why does the "law" apply to some and not others?

[mgist]

What is so wrong with the 10 commandments and believing in God?

[11th Earl of Mar]

"Judicial freedom"?

Is this new? And isn't Roe v. Wade a product of 'judicial freedom'?

[Ingtar]

But he should run for the post again as soon as possible. Wouldn't that slap them in the eye?

Nothing's wrong with it. But then, Moore wasn't removed for that.

INTREP - SAD DAY FOR JUDICIAL AND RELIGIOUS FREEDOM

Yep! And some day the truth will come out that the justices are nobile literally.

I agreed with Roy until he decided that he could defy the order to remove the monument. He should have obeyed the order and continued the fight through the courts. Had Roy made a decision on a citizen and they didn't like it for whatever reason, do you think he would have said, "Well OK"?

He has the right fight but he used the wrong weapons and tactics.

I hope things work out for him because he is a good man.

[11th Earl of Mar]

Nothing is wrong with the 10 Commandments.

And I was on Moore's side until I read, here on FR, that Moore removed a 10 Commandment display in the courthouse and replaced it with a much larger 3 ton display in the middle of the courthouse routunda.

I think Moore was begging for a fight and finally got it.

The ACLU has spoken. All bow.

[Held_to_Ransom]

Thank God he's off the bench! Now we can run him for president. I don't care if he wants to invade France or wants to raise taxes to 90% across the board. I'll vote for him.

[grania]

What part of elected are they having trouble with?

[mulligan]

And a very sad day for America.

Nothing's wrong with it. But then, Moore wasn't removed for that.>>>

Wasn't he removed for defying orders based on his interpretation that he was consitutionally obliged to allow that belief.

"And my oath of office to the Constitution requires an acknowledgment of God," he said. "It's that simple."

Well then do so quietly. My daughter acknowledges God in school -- and a public school at that -- every day, but she doesn't insist on making others listen to it or put up a large monument.

Moore is a publicity hound, pure and simple. He got what he deserved.

What part of elected are they having trouble with?

Didn't stop me from wanting Clinton impeached.

[Killborn]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(Sigh)

Basically what we can do is show the First Amendment to the people and ask where does it say that the authorities can ban the religion they deem "oppressive".

Point out the hypocrisy that teachers can wear and display any religious symbols except Christianity.

Show the contradiction within the judicial process where the justices (ha!) have to pray before each court session.

Demonstrate to people that Christianity does not equal racism, oppression, sexism, etc. And if they generalize by using some unChristian nut, say that there are nuts everywhere and point to (Rubbish)Bin Latrine and his horde of unIslamic morons.

Oh yeah, hold big noisy (but nonviolent) protests so that the mangestream media can not avoid us whenever the rights of American Christians are infringed.

Anyone else care to add?

A recent poll indicated 79 percent of Alabamians would reelected Moore as chief justice.

Hmmm...so when would he be able to run? Do they appoint another justice in the interim, and is the interim the remainder of the six-year term?
