"Moore appealed the COJ's ruling to the Supreme Court of Alabama on December 10, 2003. A special panel of retired judges and justices was randomly selected to hear the case. Moore argued that the COJ did not consider the underlying legality of the federal courts' order that the monument be removed from the courthouse. The Alabama Supreme Court rejected this argument, saying that the COJ did not have the authority to overrule the federal courts, only to determine whether Moore violated the Canons of Judicial Ethics. Therefore, the Court reasoned, it was enough to show that a procedurally-valid order was in place against Moore. Moore also argued that the COJ had imposed a religious test on him to hold his office, and that the COJ's actions had violated his own rights under the Free Exercise Clause of the First Amendment.[25]
The Supreme Court of Alabama rejected each of these arguments as well, and ruled on April 30, 2004 that the COJ had acted properly. The court also upheld the sanction of removal as appropriate.[25]"
Moore was removed by the State of Alabama in accordance with Alabama law.
And, Moore had made it clear for years that he would rule on cases in accordance with Biblical teaching even when that teaching was contrary to the law of Alabama.
Certainly I would have voted for his removal too. One man who believe he has the right to judge cases in accordance with HIS interpretation of Biblical teaching rather than the letter of the law.
He was not fit for office and the State of Alabama agreed.
Instead of just copy pasting from liberal wiki on Judge Moore, perhaps you would be interested in the actual argument presented. The 10th and 11th amendment presented and overlooked by the so-called committee. One of which was from my neck of the woods and I have heard him up close and personal.
