Where were these NYT stories before his confirmation?

He pressed to keep a monument to the Ten Commandments at the Alabama state judicial building, yet prosecuted the chief justice, Roy S. Moore, for disobeying a federal court order to remove it. Later, in a speech titled "Christian Duty and the Rule of Law," Mr. Pryor argued that he "had a moral duty, as a Christian, to obey the federal injunction."

This is a very difficult issue. I am not sure that, as a Christian, I agree with Judge Pryor on that. 99% of the time he would be right, but on this issue I still have my doubts.

Pryor was dead wrong on this. Even as a state Attorney General, he is bound to obey, support and defend the US Constitution. It is beyond any reasonable doubt that neither the First nor the Fourteenth Amendment gives the federal government, including the federal judiciary, any authority to interfere with state matters on religion. The US District Court had no authority to order the 10 Commandments removed from any statehouse. If Bill Pryor recognizes this but passively obeys an illegitmate federal court order, he is part of the problem. He has offered similar views on Roe v Wade..."I know the decision was flawed, without any legitimate Constitutional basis...but I will enforce it anyway"

No thanks Pryor
