The decision was unanimous and harsh. Nine members of Alabama's judicial ethics court found Roy Moore guilty and immediately threw him off the bench. The panel said Moore put himself above the law by refusing to obey a court order to move the Ten Commandments from the courthouse rotunda.

Moore remained as defiant as ever. Soon after the court's ruling, he said he had no...

Radio talk show host Laura Ingraham received a hostile reaction last week from crew on ABC’s daytime show, The View, to the premise of her new book, Shut Up and Sing: How Elites from Hollywood, Politics, and the UN are Subverting America.
