How do you find that he placed the 10 commandments above Alabamans? Also, given Justice Moore's history, what leads you to conclude that the people of Alabama did not express their support for Justice Moore's perspective when they elected him as Chief Justice?

He said that our nation's laws are based on the 10 commandments without qualification.

Alabamans may want a monument of any sort in their courthouse. However, they have a right to justice that is impartial to religion. Moore failed to argue that the presence of the monument was not an abridgement of that right, and he further insinuated that the 10 commandments (without qualification) were the basis of our laws.
