No, it tells us that Judge Moore's reliance on the preamble as enforceable law to the point of overriding the US Constitution is defective.

That's not what Judge Moore said

He said: "The battle over the Ten Commandments monument I brought into Alabama's Supreme Court is not about a monument and not about politics. (The battle is not even about religion, a term defined by our Founders as "the duty we owe to our creator and the manner for discharging it.") Federal Judge Myron Thompson, who ordered the monument's removal, and I are in perfect agreement on the fact that the issue in this case is: "Can the state acknowledge God?"

"Those were the precise words used by Judge Thompson in his closing remarks in open court. Today, I argue for the rule of law, and against any unilateral declaration of a judge to ban the acknowledgment of God in the public sector."

You need to become familiar with Judge Moores' position before you try to argue against it.

I was relying on the other poster's statements. I should know better than to rely on someone who can't figure out what is and isn't a "religious test."

I do understand that Moore has deliberately gone out of his way to lose the case--he has refused excellent legal advice in favor of an extremely weak case that looked tailored to fail.

If he is sincere...pride goeth before the fall.

If he's what he seems to me...the Kingfish, wherever he is, is saying "that's it, son, good show!"
