I agree. This judge is a whack job. He does not belong on the bench. I agree with the decision btw, all else being equal, the lesbian mother should lose custody, however this guy has no judicial temperment. Quoting scripture, and calling this woman evil, while interpreting not the bible, but the constitution of the US and Alabama shows how far gone this guy is.

This is just dying for an overturn by the US Supreme Court because of his language. Again, I agree with the position, just not how he expresses it. This man is a judge, not a sunday school teacher.

.... Quoting scripture, and calling this woman evil, while interpreting not the bible,

He didn't call the woman evil, he called homosexuality evil. Why do you anti-Christian bigots always have to twist things around?

Oh, yeah. It's because you can't refute one thing Judge Roy Moore said.

It's very funny to me that things that would have been understood and actually expected from a judge are now construed as wrong. Have you seen the decision? I wouldn't be surprised if he wrote three sentences of bible scripture and his beliefs mixed in with 30 sentences of other material. Reporters always blow things out of proportion.

Our Country was built on religion and a belief in God, and major religions Christianity, Jewish, and Muslim beleive that homosexuality is abhorant and against the laws of God.

With queers, now enabled, to go into classrooms in California and present "their side" of so called diversity, it is a pleasant experience for me to see a good Christian Judge just nailing it.

IMO this Country has gone upside down with this queer stuff.

Again, you need to read some early judicial opinions in this country. If you think Moore is harsh, there is no doubt in my mind you would have been calling for the disbarring of pretty much entire courts in our early history because they were godly judges.

I think you should be careful about interpreting "quoting scripture". If someone said "Thou shalt not kill" as part of a ruling should that disqualify their whole ruling? What about if the Judge quoted Socrates? Now why is it okay to quote Socrates, but not okay to quote Moses? It seems to be that if you automatically invalidate the opinion of anyone who is influenced by religion that you have in fact violated the 1st amendment and discriminated against religion.

I very much agree with you. My personal opinion is that there is no way the homosexual mother should be granted custody, and I am sure that this judge is a good and decent man. That said, though I have no legal expertise whatsoever, it sounds like he went too far in the way he presented it and put so much religion into his statements that a higher court will throw out his decision. It's as if he's asking for an overturn. Surely, his training prepared him better.

If he'd stuck to the law there'd be no risk of that. But he has to make it too easy for the federal courts to intervene.

Dogbyte, I sure wish I was going to be around in 30 years, when this country has 'gone to the dogs' to be able to remind you of how your type helped get it there, and see how you are enjoying it. Too bad I won't (unless I live to be 85).

"calling this woman evil'

The reason we pass laws is to punish evil, so what is wrong with a judge calling someone evil? It is time we all started speaking the plain truth and saying what we mean instead of spouting politically correct bullduty.

This man is a judge, not a sunday school teacher.

If we had more Sunday School teachers serving as judges, ruling in favor of families instead of perverts,
maybe this country wouldn't be so far gone, our cities tyrannized by hoodlums and criminals.

[metacognate]

The bible to the constitution is a straight line sequence. Only lately have we been making it up as we go along...with self evident results. This judge is an original american thinker.
