Johnstone is a grandstanding Demorat who fooled the people once into thinking he was a conservative by running ads showing himself duck hunter (it was a borrowed shotgun and bird dog.) He's a liberal trial lawyer with a TERRIBLE record on crime. He has been nailed and recently announced that he's not runninf for re-election -- because he would get his arse kicked.

By the way, for those who think this is a liberal conspiracy, sorry to let the air out of that balloon, byt Roy Moore screwed up his own case by ignoring good legal advice of the AG Bill Pryor, by refusing to allow Jay Sekulow to take on the case FREE OF CHARGE! (one of the finest constituional attorneys on religious liberty cases), and by hiring incompetent counsel. Whatever your view may be on display of the 10 commandments, and I'm for it, Moore was his own worst enemy.

As I predicted here last week, the 7 other REPUBLICAN Supreme Court Judges will overrule him and order the removal of the monument tomorrow, which they are entitled to do under the Court's administrative rules. Moore will be suspended when the Alabama Judicial Inquiry Commission finds that there is reasonable cause for the charges filed against him last week. And, finally, he will be tried by the Court of the Judiciary, which will vote to remove him from the bench. All of this could have been avoided if he had not insisted on screwing the case up and if he had just followed the excellent legal advise of good conservative lawyers. 10 Commandment cases can be one, but you have to thread the needle. Moore opted for the bull in the China Shop approach, and all he has not is broken dishes!

They voted tonight on whether to remove the monument to an office within the building. They did not vote to overrule Judge Moore. Yet.
