He was the Chief Justice of the state’s Supreme Court as I
recall.
Funny, no mention of that in the leading background materials.
RE: He was the Chief Justice of the state’s Supreme Court as I

Yep. And if you remember, Judge Moore was severely persecuted and attacked for simply hanging a carved monument of the 10 Commandments ( which he himself worked on ) in the Alabama Judicial Building.
Roy Stewart Moore (born February 11, 1947) is an American
politician, lawyer, and jurist who served as the 27th and
31st chief justice of the Supreme Court of Alabama from 2001
to 2003 and again from 2013 to 2017, each time being removed
from office for judicial misconduct by the Alabama Court of
the Judiciary. He was the Republican nominee in the 2017
U.S. Senate special election in Alabama to fill the seat
vacated by Jeff Sessions, but was accused by several women
of sexual misconduct and lost to Democratic candidate Doug
Jones.[1][2] Moore ran unsuccessfully for the United States
Senate in 2020.[3]
He was removed from that office twice, but the people didn’t
back that. Some of it was related to his defense of the
Ten Commandments in front of the courthouse.

Yes. I had forgotten it was inside. As I recall, didn’t he
offer to move it outside, and they refused that also?
Is Gloria Alred still in Alabama, helping her client hold Judge Moore accountable for what he did?
I think I remember her saying she would.
Easy Peasy. No problem funneling that amount of US taxpayer money through the Ukraine. Just a drop in the bucket.
A jury awarded Gibson's Bakery $43 million for libel, to be paid by Oberlin College. Oberlin has lost every appeal so far, but Gibson's hasn't yet seen a penny of what they're owed. They won their case more than three years ago.
It was easy for liberals, Mitt Romney, and Mitch McConnell to attack him with a one-off race.
Mitch the Turdle sent 20 million of Senate campaign
funds to run tv ads against Judge Roy because
Moore vowed to vote against Mitch for leader.
Mitch will do anything to defeat candidates who
won’t support his role as leader.
Tuberville so far has not bent a knee to Mitch.
Too bad Judge Roy would be a lot better than Britt

Did you hear today that Mitch pulled funding from OZ!! If we are going to hold our noses and support OZ he is going to need money!!
Dr. Oz is out with this commercial regarding Lt. Gov. John Fetterman his Democrat opponent.

Judge Roy was narrowly defeated because:
1. False charges of sexual misconduct; no credible evidence was brought forward and the charges went silent after the election. (He dated and married a legal adult who was about 15 years his Junior. This fact suddenly became a crime in eyes of many women-libers.)
2. Made enemies with the republican establishment, who then endorsed the democrat. He would have been difficult for McConnell to control.
3. He espoused strong traditional Christian values. This was too hard-lined for many in the agnostic mainstream, who can tolerate any type of behavior other than traditional Christian.
4. Likely voter fraud. He was leading by 7% and 5% in two separate polls taken just before the election. This lead was in spite of the barrage of outside-funded attacks from both Democrats and Republicans. Democrats bused voters from other states to places like Birmingham. Several precincts with about 100% turnout voted heavily for his democratic opponent (Jones).
Yes, what it the writers problem? Does he not know the difference between a Judge and a Sheriff? I don’t think Judge Moore was ever a sheriff and I don’t think there is such a thing as a “republican Sheriff”, its just Sheriff.
Roy moore Alabama Supreme Court
Lets be honest, from the prospective of most Alabamians prior to this election business...considered Moore to be more of a ‘nut’ than anything else. It’s only that they have so few quality candidates for Senate seats or Governor these days...that Moore rose to the top level rather quickly.
On the positive side, no one can accuse Moore of being corrupted or in some hanky-panky scandal (like Gov Bentley was).
You are accidently combining 2 events. He had a wooden carved plaque in his courtroom as a judge in Gadsden. The 10 Commandments monument in the Alabama Supreme Court lobby was carved in stone, not a huge monument but very heavy. Man I could share tons of stories about those days. I attended every rally held at the court during that fight and heard many great speakers (James Dobson, Alan Keyes, Jay Sekulo, etc) and then went to D.C. with a small group to protest there. I witnessed miracles...more than one. Amazing time in my life!
“Failed Senate Bid”
So, for $8M, the Democrats got a badly needed Senate seat (in a very, very, red state), and GREATLY empowered the RINOs to stop Trump’s agenda (by making the Senate nearly 50-50). I’d say it was a small price to pay for the Democrats.
As to Moore, he was an idiot in dealing with the issue, so he didn’t do the GOP any favors either.
Rule #1 in politics: Don’t waste all your time and energy chasing votes among people who are going to vote for you anyway.
