You are kidding, right? You want to name him to USB Supremes whatever that is? No way -- that man ignored a court order. He took an oath of office and that oath of office would forbid him from ignoring a court order of a higher court.

Some of you on here don't mind someone breaking the the law or ignoring a court order because it is against your agenda. That's not the way it works and shouldn't work. What makes your agenda more important than the next guy's.

You are so right. It is the job and the duty of a lower court judge to obey the finding of a higher court no matter what the principle at stake is. Judge Moore disobeyed a Federal Court ruling and as far as I'm concerned disqualified himself from consideration of future office. I might agree with him in principle but it was not his decision to make. I do not want Liberals on the courts to enact civil disobedience to suit their agenda and I do not have a double standard.

State Court judges need to follow the law set by the higher courts. When that is wrong it is up to us to change it, not individual judges. No matter the cause.

The Constitution of the United States of America is more important than the next guy's agenda. If a judge rules contrary to the Constitution it is perfectly appropriate to disobey them.

The unelected people cancelled my vote in Alabama. We will change that next year in the Governor's race.
