You and the editorialist are both intent on arguing the man when the point of contention is a federal judiciary morphing into an elite oligarchy.
You would both do well to keep your eye on the ball. I don't know Moore, can't argue for his character or against but I'd be more than happy to engage you in the nonsensical precedent of "separation of church and state".
Ask yourself this. Why do the justices cite a letter written by a President, Thomas Jefferson in judicial opinions when the primary author of the First Amendment was Fischer Ames, not Thomas Jefferson.
Food for thought.

Why should we obey Moore's court orders if he will not obey higher court orders? Should we all live according to our own interpretations, and not be accountable to law?
Everyone on Free Republic was angered (and rightly so) by the lawlessness of the clintons, and their lack of respect for the law......so why would we celebrate the same disrespect for the law and the court systems? We are a nation of laws, Roy Moore is not bigger than our system.
We are facing the biggest fiscal crisis the state has had since the depression, and this con man wants the state to pay a contempt of court charge every day he grandstands?

"You and the editorialist are both intent on arguing the man when the point of contention is a federal judiciary morphing into an elite oligarchy."You want to find a more elite oligarchy than the one Roy Moore has set up in Alabama?
He consulted with no one, he accepted a gift for the State quite possibly without following proper procedures, he refuses to recognize any authority other than his own.
Tell me, the Texas legislators are breaking the law in the name of their principles, you support Roy Moore breaking the law in the name of his principles, I guess you support the Texas legislators as well?
And you support these people too?

BamaG can't keep his eye on the ball. He hates Moore for some reason. Perhaps he made fun of his girlie walk in grammar school years ago or something. It is ridiculous.
