The same arguments Moore is making to the media are the ones that are in these court documents. I haven't found an on-line source for any of the briefs submitted by the plaintiff and defendant.
These are the opinions, decisions, orders and injunctions in the Moore case. They're far too lengthy to post in their entirety.

The issues are the same as those that caused "The War against Southern Independence":
I am a lawyer. The essential question is, "Can a Federal Judge order a State Supreme Court Justice to violate the State Constitution?"
The Alabama State Constitution recognises God's law as sovereign. The united States has become a secular humanist nation. The doctrine of "seperation of church and state" is a myth. It applies only to Congress, not the states.
As a result of America's Lenin , Mr.Lincoln, the Courts seek to apply that to the states. Alabama, like South Carolina, still believes in the "division of powers, guarrenteed under the "old Constitution"
The organisers of the rally ran off thousands of supporters by "banning" the Confederate flag.
In the Columbia, 2001 rally, we had in excess of 10,000 folks to support the Confederate flag. We, Southrons, see the flag as a symbol of us, as a people. The rally organisers, especially a Mr. Kennedy, made it clear that the "Confederate flag would not be welcome".
State by state, hundreds of supporters withdrew. The organisers misunderstood the inter-relation between fundamental Christian activists, and Confederate flag activists.
Quietly, silently, they just decided not to attend.
I attended the rally. We planned to rent 3 buses to attend. When we received the word that our flags were unwelcome, the contingent was reduced to a few cars.
At the rally, the organisers tried to suppress any symbol of Southern resistance and States Rights. A VMI Graduate, with a clump of balloons, flying a Confederate and Alabama flag, was told he had to leave.
The problem with the rally was, the organisers ran off their best friends.
The rest of the Country describes the South as the "Bible Belt" with contempt. The "Christian Coallition's" rally fell from 15,000 to 3,000 participants, because they excluded the 12,000 Southrons, who would have participated, if they had not excluded our symbols.
Southern Christians were insulted by Mr. Kennedy, and the organisers. It is a lesson the Christian Co-allition should learn. The South is the Bible Belt. We look to preachers to lead us. We shun those who do not.
Jerry Falwell, and Mr. Kennedy, took a beating this weekend for their arrogance.
