The "no law" argument has been shredded on numerous threads

No, it's mostly been ignored on previous threads.

As for Moore showing a preference, you obviously haven't read his own words. He flat our says that the God of the KJV is the God that has sovereignty over the state and every citizen in it.

Such a statement is not a legal preference, and even if it was, it's not a preference for a particular sect, society, denomination - which are just another way of saying religious organization - nor is it a preference for a mode of worship, since he's not telling anyone how to worship God.

It goes like this. A state actor cannot take action in the absence of legislation if legislation authorizing such action would be unconstitutional.

Now, you tell me. If the Alabama Legislature passes the following law, does it pass constitutional muster:

The State of Alabama hereby declares that the Christian God is sovereign over all laws of the State and each citizen of the State, and that this sovereignty shall be recognized by the erection of a large monument in the rotunda of the Judicial Building, to remind all citizens of Alabama and all litigants in its courts that the Christian God is the source of all legal authority in this State. The display of non-Christian or secular sources of law alongside the monument is expressly prohibited.
