He should take his appeal to the SCOTUS.

He already tried. They rejected the appeal.

So, now what? Is there ever a line which simply must be crossed? Or must we just accept anything the judiciary decrees? I don't know the answer; it just seems to me that this is a dark day for our Republic.

This ain't it, Knotts.

Moore will likely use this as a stepping-stone to run against Richard Shelby next year for Senate.

This is purely political, as was his run for Chief Justice in 1998.

OK, this is what I don't understand. The SCOTUS refuses to take the appeal, but the appeal was of a federal judge's decision (a Clinton appointee, if I recall correctly). The feds are already involved. Why does the Supreme Ct. decide to sidestep this issue?

He asked for a temporary injunction to stay the lower court order. They are almost never granted. The proper appeal process would be to file for a writ of certiorari.
