And here's the Chief Magistrate of Alabama openlty stating that he's NOT impartial.

That the only way one can expect Justice in his Alabama Court is to invoke the God of Judeo-Christian beliefs.

I am still dumbfounded. The impartiality of the judiciary along with the rule of law are the foundations of a free nation. Yet every judge on the face of the earth has some views on religion. To the extent that one succeeds in being impartial has nothing to do with whether he or she displays some sort of tribute to and reminder of the foundations of morality in our culture.

"The monument serves to remind the appellate courts and judges of the circuit and district courts of this state and members of the bar who appear before them as well as the people of Alabama who visit the Alabama Judicial Building of the truth stated in the preamble of the Alabama Constitution that in order to establish justice we must invoke 'the favor and guidance of Almighty God"-- Judge Moore's comments at the dedication of the monument.
