The rule of law means that no person, including the Chief Justice of Alabama, is above the law. The rule of law means that when courts resolve disputes, after all appeals and arguments, we all must obey the orders of those courts even when we disagree with those orders. The rule of law means that we can work to change the law but not to defy court orders.

A great statement. If only Chief Justice Moore would have said it instead, it would have been even better.

Wrong! The law of man does not trump the law of God. Two examples - one - the Dred Scott decission. This said that a certain group of people were things, not human. It issued from the highest court of the land and it was highly repugant and immoral. Two - the laws in Germany during the 1930's that made it illegal to be a Jew. We convicted people by saying that following orders and laws, when they were illegal, is wrong. So is this. If this is wrong, than sandblast the Ten Commandments off the Supreme Court. No more using the Bible for swearing of public officials or in courts. Take IN GOD WE TRUST off the money. If the stand is not made now, eventually it will be against the law to be a Christian.
