I'm here in Alabama, and that's *not* what happened. Judge Pryor was supporting Judge Moore up until Judge Moore chose an overly confrontational manner of defying a federal judge.
Other options were available for Judge Moore, however, he selected the option most likely to catapult him into our Governor's seat.
Both Judges stand a very good chance of getting that which they wanted, and there was no sellout by either one.
Maybe it is all political for both sides - Moore got coverage and Pryor looked like a federal tool, but the Constitution suffered. It used to mean something.
