I did read Judge Myron Thompson's ruling. I don't know that Moore is said to have broken any law per se. A federal case was brought resulting in an order issued to remove the stone.
If you ask by what law can such an order be issued, I can only say by precedence. The Supreme Court has interpreted the 14th amendment as incorporating the establishment clause of the 1st amendment.
I think it is dead wrong, but the federal court's legal authority to force compliance has not been challenged. To do so is akin to a revolution. One who does so must abide by the consequences. It would end Pryor's career. I would rather see him confirmed to the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals.
EV ADDED: "But that is not the case here. Activist liberal judges have finally gone too far. They have become lawless."
EV ADDED: "Can you [NutCrackerBoy] name the law that Judge Moore broke?"
