As for your last sentence, it would be a complete, unmitigated disaster for the rule of law -- and a violation of his oath to uphold the federal and Alabama constitutions -- for the Chief Justice of the Alabama Supreme Court to take that position.

That's what pisses me off about Moore. Here's a guy who took an oath when he was admitted to the bar that probably included something to the effect that he would support the Constitution (both of the bars I was admitted to had a similar oath). He's the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Alabama. This is a man who has spent his life supporting and implementing the rule of law. Now, he wants to chuck all of that away because of a federal ct. decision he doesn't agree with. He is supporting anarchy and lawlessness and disrespect for the Constitution.

To hell with him- he's no conservative. Conservatives believe in this country's institutions.

Fully agree. And as someone else pointed out, this type of thing is going to make it harder, not easier, for other conservatives to be confirmed to federal judgships.
