I keep wondering what happens if he refuses the "order". Do they send the U.S. Marshalls in? Homeland Security Officers?

Good for him. Now... for your viewing pleasure, the Surpremes. Let's hope they have an ounce of sense on the issue.
To: ladtx
Also looks like a good chance for some Alabama Freepin'. Wish I still lived there.

We need to do more of this civil disobedience ala the days of the Civil Rights movement. Can't you picture the outrage of the public at seeing some storm trooper dragging the Ten Commandments out of the courthouse. It might even start a revolution!
To: ladtx
I've had enough. Thinking of Ten commandment T-shirts.
Now, what would happen if someone stopped me and asked which ones I had broken?? Oh, oh!!
To: The Toad
Yes, he's right. The power's not granted to the Federal Government by the Constitution belong to the States and the people. One of those powers is the establishment of religion ("CONGRESS shall make no law respecting the establishment of religion..."). At the time of ratification, many states had religious tests for their leaders... and it wasn't unconstitutional. As a State official, he can be as religious as he wants to be with no Constitutional problem.
He's right to stand his ground and uphold the backbone of our laws. He's right in principle and right in practice.

I assume this will get appealed to the US Supreme Court. If they rule against the Alabama judge, what is the USSC going to do to enforce their decision? They don't have an army....
To: DoughtyOne
If they don't show sense, they'll have to ditch all that "God save this honorable court" stuff.
To: FreeTally
he's the (elected) chief justice of a state supreme court. the idea that he should listen to a lower federal court judge probably appeals very little to him.
