"You can search the Constitution all you want and you will never find anything there about the separation of church and state. It's just not there. And now our federal government is taking it upon itself to tell states what they can and cannot do. That's just not right," he said. Moore has been suspended by U.S. District Judge Myron Thompson of Montgomery, who ruled last year that the monument violates the Constitution's ban on government endorsement of a religion doctrine. Moore's suspension came about because of his fight to keep the monument in the rotunda.

The establishment clause in the first amendment applies to Congress only. An individual state can establish religion all they want. Many had state religions when the Constitution was ratified.

Who wrote this garbage?

Moore was suspended by an Alabama Judicial Ethics Panel when it referred his disobedience of a ruling from an Appeals Court to a Court for trial. Thompson had nothing to do with his suspension.
