"Its funny how fast the system worked to remove Judge Moore when he challenged the powers to be,but let some judge misuse his authority like in this case and all they do is ring their hands and pretend they cant do anything about it,how convenient"
In 2001, he installed the Ten Commandments monument without consulting his colleagues. A U.S. District judge demanded that the monument be removed by August 20, 2003. Moore refused to comply and was suspended from office and charged with six ethics violations. On August 27, the monument was moved to a side room in the courthouse.
Judge Moore's Ten Commandments monument

There is a difference here, because Judge Moore, the "Ten Commandments Judge", was removed for "ethics violations" for violating a federal judge's order to remove the Ten Commandments monument from the Alabama state Supreme Court building.

In the Redistricting Reform Initiative case, the judge is not violating an order from a judge of a higher court.
