Me: "the Alabama Legislature didn't mandate this"

You: No, but the Alabama Constitution makes allowance for it.

What I was taking exception to was saying that the will of the people of Alabama was being dissed - IMO, the 'will of the people' resides in the Legislature, not in one judge acting alone, without even informing his felow SC justices of what was coming down. That sounds more like Moore's will, not the peoples'.

It is my understanding that Justice Moore was overwhelmingly elected by the people based largely on his support of the 10 commmandments. I also seem to recall that in recent polls, anywhere from 77-90% of the people of Alabama support him. That being the case, the will of the governed is indeed being overridden.
