MONTGOMERY, Ala. - Suspended Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore had "every legal right" to ignore an order to remove his Ten Commandments monument from the rotunda of the state courthouse, Moore's attorneys said Wednesday at his judicial ethics trial. Attorney General Bill Pryor, whose office is prosecuting Moore, has asked the Court of the Judiciary to remove the chief justice for "Moore's sensational flouting of a valid federal injunction." About 100 Moore supporters gathered on the sidewalk and plaza outside the judicial building Wednesday, some carrying "Save the Ten Commandments" signs. As Moore arrived, some women held small children up...

Montgomery, Alabama-AP -- Alabama's suspended chief justice says the state shouldn't have to pay the legal fees for the group that beat him in court. The plaintiffs who sued over Roy Moore's two-and-a-half-ton Ten Commandments monument are now asking Alabama to pay their fees. Ayesha Khan, a lawyer for Americans United for Separation of Church and State, says the groups are seeking about 832-thousand dollars in fees. Moore calls the request "outrageous." In an interview with The Associated Press, he says the plaintiffs have raised money in the name of fighting the monument. But Khan says Moore "knew full well"...

Justice Moore Says Ten Commandments Battle Not Over Yet By David Brody Congressional Correspondent November 4, 2003 Justice Moore's Ten Commandments crusade came to a screeching halt at the steps of the U.S. Supreme Court yesterday. CBN.com – WASHINGTON, D.C. — Even though the Supreme Court has decided not to hear the case of Alabama Supreme Court Chief Justice Roy Moore, the legal battles over the Ten Commandments are far from over. Justice Moore's Ten Commandments crusade came to a screeching halt at the steps of the U.S. Supreme Court yesterday. The justices were simply unwilling to take the case,...

Justices won't hear 10 Commandments appeals Moore faces trial next week on violation of judicial-ethics charges The Supreme Court won't be deciding the outcome of the pitched battle over suspended Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore's Ten Commandments monument. Justices refused today to hear appeals seeking to put the 5,300-pound granite cube back on display inside Alabama's state capitol. WorldNetDaily reported the controversial monument nicknamed "Roy's Rock" was removed Aug. 28 from the rotunda of the Judicial Building in Montgomery after Moore was suspended by the Alabama Judicial Inquiry Commission for refusing to comply with a federal judge's ordered removal. He...

At the American Cause's "Voices for the Unborn" conference October 4, HUMAN EVENTS Associate Editor Joseph A. D'Agostino interviewed Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore. Moore, who addressed the conferees, has become a hero to many constitutionalist Americans by standing up to federal courts who have ordered the removal of his stone monument of the Ten Commandants from public display in the Alabama supreme court building. Moore is currently attempting to have the U.S. Supreme Court reverse lower federal court decisions that have forced the removal, at least for the time being. Moore argues that Americans are not obliged to obey...

On Sunday, October 5, 2003, I walked a block from my hotel in Washington, D.C. to St. Matthew’s Cathedral on Rhode Island Avenue. A 10 a.m. service was scheduled at the church, where the Red Mass would be celebrated—a service held prior to the beginning of a new session of the U.S. Supreme Court and which the Supreme Court justices normally attend. I was walking with two ladies with whom I had been travelling on the Spirit of Montgomery Save the Commandments caravan from Montgomery, Alabama to Washington, D.C. When we approached the block where St. Matthew’s is located, we...

NEW YORK (CBS) In Montgomery, Ala., recently, a judge refused to remove a 5,000-pound stone bearing the Ten Commandments from his courthouse. Finally, after a higher court order, the stone was removed - and so was the judge.Three years ago, there was a similar incident outside a high school in Adams County, Ohio. The issue then was a plaque with the Ten Commandments on it.Like the stone in the Alabama courthouse, the plaque was finally removed over the objection of a lot of people who are both Christian and patriotic.Religion and patriotism have a lot of the same characteristics. My...

Defenders of the Ten Commandments are optimistic that they will pass a bill in the House of Representatives this fall that would limit the authority of federal courts to intervene in cases like the ongoing dispute in Alabama. The Ten Commandments Defense Act is nothing new, having first been introduced in 1997. But the recent case involving Alabama Supreme Court Chief Justice Roy S. Moore has prompted more than 70 congressmen to support the bill, which is pending in committee. Flanked by supporters, Rep. Robert Aderholt (R-Ala.), whose district includes the Montgomery courthouse where Moore's Ten Commandment monument once stood,...

Those Ministers Who Say Judge Moore Acted Improperly Need To Tear Daniel Chapter Six Out Of Their Bibles! By Chuck Baldwin Food For Thought From The Chuck Wagon August 29, 2003 I have listened to minister after minister publicly rebuke Alabama Supreme Court Chief Justice Roy Moore saying, as a Christian, he should have obeyed federal judge Myron Thompson's unlawful order to remove a Ten Commandments monument from the Alabama Judicial Building. Those ministers need to reread Daniel chapter six. Daniel was a government official in the court of King Darius. In fact, Daniel was the second-in-command answering only to...

HERE’S HOW IT CAN BE ACCOMPLISHED There is a simple way we can still use our numbers to move THE TEN COMMANDMENTS back to the lobby of the Courthouse in Montgomery. Volunteers should be organized to appear in pairs in the lobby of the Court House in Montgomery day in and day out on a never ending basis. Volunteers will be armed with nothing more than a set of type written notes containing the words of THE TEN COMMANDMENTS. It will be the job of volunteers to stand and recite the words ‘aloud’ from memory in shifts from the time...

The American Civil Liberties Union has no plans to have the Ten Commandments monument removed from the Missouri Capitol grounds, the group's attorney said Tuesday. In a letter to the News Tribune, ACLU counselor Dan Viets said recent television news reports were inaccurate when they indicated the ACLU's intent to take action to have the monument removed. The Ten Commandments statue on the Capitol grounds was presented to the state of Missouri by the Missouri State Fraternal Order of Eagles in 1958. An ACLU attorney has denied reports the group is planning to file a lawsuit to have it removed....

As this is being written, America's eyes are turned to the State Judiciary Building in Montgomery, Alabama, where the Ten Commandments are being removed from public view. A federal court has ruled that this two- and-a-half-ton granite monument, stationed as it was at the foot of the courthouse, violates the separation of church and state. Roy Moore, chief justice of the Alabama Supreme Court, and a devout Christian, has also been removed for failing to comply with orders that proclaim – "The Ten Commandments must go." Moore has been steadfast. For several weeks, as played out over all the cable...

August 26, 2003 Amid the chaos of the budget crisis and the recall election of Gov. Gray Davis, the Legislature is about to set up a powerful new regulatory agency in an effort to protect Indian sacred sites. While the sacred places of Native Americans should be protected, the imperious method chosen by lawmakers and the haste with which this new bureaucracy is being formed would scare Californians – if they knew about it. By rushing the sacred sites bill through in the last days of the legislative session, lawmakers are severely restricting public debate on the measure. The law...

Volunteers should be organized to appear in pairs in the...

So much of the anti-religionist arguments have a high need of ignorance and deception to acheive their goals. Most of them know full well the "Establishment" clause does not mean what they keep telling others it means. But they have the media all to eagar to help them and the educational institutions are so willing to bypass historical fact to help as well. Here is the congressional recording of the discussion surrounding the 1st Amendment and what it means. This is exactly what the left and anti-religionsist do not want the public to have any real knowledge of. From the...

Just stated in an interview on Fox News. He declares herewith the ascendency of the judiciary. He didn't even mention the constitution being the supreme law of the land. And, of course, he ignores God. Stunning. Amazing.

Our left-leaning U. S. Supreme Court ("leaning?" It's almost all the way over) has rejected the appeal of Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore to keep the Ten Commandments memorial in the Alabama Judicial Building. Was anyone surprised? Phyllis Schlafly, founder of Eagle Forum and author of Feminist Fantasies , noted that Justice Ruth Ginsburg has confessed that she and her fellow leftists on the Supreme Court are "'becoming more open to international law perspectives,' looking to United Nations treaties and foreign courts for guidance in deciding gay rights, death penalty and affirmative action cases." When the Supreme Court endorsed racial...
