Funny, no mention of that in the leading background materials.

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.
