He he gets to be the arbitrar of the Constittution and is not answerable to higher courts, then why can't I follow my own interpretation.
I return the question to you with where does it get us by complying with a judiciary out of control and operating outside it's authority?
You have hit upon the very situation that is not easily solved. What DO we do when the highest court operated outside the authority that we have given it? The only response is exactly what Judge Moore did. You challenge it, hoping that you fellow citizens will support you and clip the wings of the court. That failed miserable.
It didn't fail because of Judge Moore's lack of courage or determination; It failed because those who pledged their support took the path of least resistance.

actually, there are several alternatives that do not involve the anarchy of defying a federal court order:

1. The Congress has the right to determine the jurisdiction of Article III courts. So it can remove questions concerning the 10 commandments from federal court jurisdiction.

2. We can elect presidents who will agree to appoint judges who are originalists and who construe the constitution accordingly.

3. We can seek to amend the Constitution.
