Explain how Greer is justified ignoring the law but Moore wasn't.

How is Greer ignoring the law? He's been backed up by state appeals courts, the Florida Supreme Court, Federal Appeals Courts, and the US Supreme Court. It seems to me that one of these august bodies would have discovered a violation of the law on Greer's part, had there been one.

Moore, OTOH, was told to remove his monument by a Federal Judge, by a Federal Appeals Court, and by the US Supreme Court. When he didn't, he was removed by his fellow Alabama Supreme Court Justices.

Should we just ignore the judiciary?

We should ignore amoral cretins that would prefer to starve people to death inorder to obey the letter of the law, and that is for certain. Or else we are no better than Beria and Himmler.

Should the other two branches, when in agreement about a constitutional issue, simply bow down before it?

This is what they have done for decades and as a result they have been led by the nose down lunacy lane.

In the case of Moore, I argued that he should defy what I believe was an unconstitutional and illegal order, but that he should be prepared to accept the consequences of that act.

Greer ignored a congressional subpoena and he should also face the consequences. He is in contempt and should be removed from office.
