No judge has the authority to impose his will on the people of a state

Roy Moore's own words. Out of his own mouth.

Cooked his own goose.

One of the great influences on the Founding Fathers, common law sage William Blackstone, once pointed out that judges do not make laws, they interpret them. No judge has the authority to impose his will on the people of a state, and no judge has the constitutional authority to forbid public officials from acknowledging the same God specifically mentioned in the charter documents of our nation, the Declaration of Independence and the United States Constitution.

Oh what a tangled web we weave.....when we don't put another man's statements in the proper context.

Moore is NOT the judge who ignores the words "Almighty God" in the Alabama constitution.

"Judge Thompson never declared the Alabama Constitution unconstitutional, but the essence of his ruling was to prohibit judicial officers from obeying the very constitution they are sworn to uphold. In so doing, Judge Thompson and all who supported his order, violated the rule of law.

Alabama Attorney General Bill Pryor and my fellow justices have argued that they must act to remove the monument to preserve the rule of law. But the precise opposite is true: Article VI of the Constitution makes explicitly clear that the Constitution, and the laws made pursuant to it, are "the supreme Law of the Land." Judge Thompson and the judges of the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals have all sworn oaths which bind them to support the Constitution as it is written--not as they would personally prefer it to be written.

By subjugating the people of Alabama to the unconstitutional edict by Judge Thompson, that public officials may not acknowledge God, the attorney general and my colleagues have made the fiat opinion of a judge supreme over the text of the Constitution. While agreeing with me that the Constitution is supreme, and that the opinion of Judge Thompson was contrary to the Constitution, the attorney general has argued that he must follow an order he himself believes to be in direct violation of the supreme law of the land."

Judge Thompson is ignoring the constitution and making law. This law undercuts what the constitution says. A very sneaky way of subverting our constitution without having to get an amendment to change it. A judge makes a ruling ignoring what the consitution says and then the law rather than what the constitution says is in effect.

Sinky what is with this vendatta on Judge Moore?

I can understand that you don't like what he is doing, but your out of control personal attacks on Judge Moore, on every thread, invalidate anything you say.

Actually, he is 100% correct. It is the duty of the executive branch to execute the orders of judges. That's why we have a separated government. The executive branch could simply refuse to execute the order. The judiciary does not reign supreme. The executive branches of government have veto power by simply refusing to follow the orders of judges.
