*ping*

[Impy]

Riley's been disappointing so far huh?

[fieldmarshaldj]

And apparently the rest of the AL Supreme Court and Attorney-General Pryor. A lot of shame to go around. As for that scum Myron Thompson, Satan has a nice place right next to him in the hereafter.

[sinkspur]

There will be a presence of concerned citizens at the Alabama Supreme Court building until this matter is resolved.

The matter is resolved, Chuck. Though many Christians may agree with Moore, they are also respectful of the rule of law.

That's why they will work to put men like Bill Pryor in judgeships.

Roy Moore will likely be fired.

[fieldmarshaldj]

What rule of law ? "Rule of law" is whatever leftist activist "judges" deem their personal opinion of the matter at hand to be. Damn them to hell for it.

[fieldmarshaldj]

"Roy Moore will likely be fired."

We need 10,000 Roy Moores lining our judicial benches. Perhaps then the real meaning of "rule of law" will finally ring true again. At least the Chief Justice of Alabama knows what it is.

Sure. We need judges who disobey a ruling of a higher court they don't like.

Think ole Roy would tolerate a state district judge dissin' one of his rulings?

It's funny to watch conservatives act like liberals when a judicial ruling goes against them.

[Theodore R.]

Though many Christians may agree with Moore, they are also respectful of the rule of law.

Your line made me for some reason think of the old "Wagon Train" television series. Majors Adams and Hale (played by the late Ward Bond and the late John McIntire) were always defending "the law." Both were educated trailmasters, and they often tangled with mobs on the trail west. Sometimes though it looked like strictly following the law ended in gross injustice. But as Major Adams said, "The law, it's all we have."

Those who oppose the federal court in the Ten Commandments case disrespect the opinion of a federal judge; they are not opposed to the "rule of law." They see this Carterized Myron Thompson as a lawless judge. As do those of us who oppose the euthanazation of the helpless Terri Schindler Schiavo in FL. We see Pinellas County's George Greer as a lawless judge, not as an apostle of the "rule of law."

It might surprise you to know that, were the Supreme Court to actually take up Roy Moore's case (it won't), it would side 9-0 with Myron Thompson. That would include Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas.

So, you pick and choose which judge's rulings you'll obey?

[Theodore R.]

Soldiers sometimes have to pick and choose which orders of officers they will obey. It's from the Nuremberg trials.

So America is Nazi Germany?

You can pick and choose which orders of federal judges you will obey as long as you are willing to suffer the consequences.

So now you're equating removal of the Ten Commandments with war crimes?

Are you the guy who was shouting "GET YOUR HANDS OFF MY GOD" at the movers?

[Theodore R.]

The power of the national government has spoken, immoral though this government be. The Bible teaches than "men ought to obey God, rather than man." That's the justification Judge Moore stands upon.

Fine. If Moore is ever readmitted to judicial service in Alabama, would you say the same thing if a defendant told Moore, after an unfavorable ruling "God says different. I'll obey God rather than you"?

[Theodore R.]

would you say the same thing if a defendant told Moore, after an unfavorable ruling "God says different. I'll obey God rather than you"?

Yes, if I thought I was going to lose the case anyway. One has to pretend before these lawless judges. Many are more concerned with being disrespected by a defendant, rather than the crime against others that the suspects committed. But if one wants a long prison sentence, he could of course say this to a judge.

[Torie]

There is no problem with judges disobeying higher court rulings. They will be promptly removed. Thus it is clear that the motive here is that the subject judge wants to make a point, and/or run for political office.

[Poohbah]

You broke-a da code.

It's pure political theater, worthy of the Kingfish himself.
