Where does the Alabama State Constitution state that the Chief Justice is required to place the Ten Commandments in the courthouse?

Further, a judge's order is indeed law. It is not legislatively passed law, but it has the full force of the state behind it, which makes it law.

Nope, not law, court order. They are different animals. In other words; a court orders a man to pay his ex $500. If it were law, all men would have to pay their ex $500. As to the Alabama Const. Read the Judge's ruling on it, he said it better than I could. In short, it demands that the courts honor God! Like I said though, read what the Judge wrote about this.

Don't misunderstand, I believe the weight of the Constitution is on the side of Moore, but I disagree that he has the right to ignore the ruling of a higher court.

We are a nation of the rule of law. And the rule of law said to move the monument.

Further, as for his own personal convictions, Paul was clear that we must obey the laws of the land unless doing so violates God's law. No where does God command the Christian to place the Ten Commandments in our courthouses.

Bull, you must be a lawyer. Legislators make law in this country, executives and judges make it other than paper. Somewhere along the line the judges lost their way. Time to make the correction. A stone monument no more establishes a religion than belching makes a tenor.

Ah, I see. So I sleep with my wife, so any woman I sleep with is my wife. Please...if it isn't passed by a legislature it isn't a law by definition. Don't you know that?

That's a fraud on the Republic. Only the legislative branch has been given the power to make laws.

You're making an idiotic assertion. Where is the authority for that supposedly coming from? Cite it please.
