Disbarment would be a separate action before the state bar's disciplinary committee.

It's the State Court of The Judiciary. They have jurisdiciton over matters of judicial ethics in the state.

Well in most states it is up to elected representatives to make those judgements. Also where in the Constitution do the federal courts get to dictate to state courts on issues that are not explictly given to the federal government in the Constitution. If anything the federal courts are guilty of removing the 10th amendment from the US Constitution.

Again with the exaggerations. The only thing that Separationists are trying to do is forbid government entities from showing preference for certain faiths. That is hardly "everything".

No. They've chosen antiChrist.

Where did Judge Moore get the "right" to make decorating decisions on the courthouse? Isn't that the State Supreme Court, not his personal soapbox?

After this whole episode, he just might be re-elected unanimously.

I think you're right on target. You'd be surprised at the number of Ten Commandment signs that have popped up in yards all over Alabama in recent weeks. IMHO, he ignored the rule of law and deserves removal; however, the Ten Commandments are quite popular in my neck of the woods.

William Pryor is not a judge (he is nominated to be a federal judge, but he hasn't been confirmed). He is the attorney general for the state of Alabama.

Thanks... there I go jumping the gun again. ;)

So individuals in public office do not have a right to freedom of speech?? Think about it, you going to have to put a muzzle on every public individual from believing in anything, from faith in parking tickets to faith in God.

"I really don't give a damn, jump off a bridge if you want."

That's a very Christian thing to say. What book and verse is that from?

I am sickened by this decision.

Why? Should a judge be able to act unlawfully as long as he's on "God's side"?

Do you realize that what you long for isn't a constitutional republic, but rather a theocracy?

Pryor is one of the four judges for which the Senate is having their talkathon.

I simply answered your question as to whom the "panel" was...

The [Alabama] Court of the Judiciary is created consisting of one judge of an appellate court, other than the Supreme Court, who shall be selected by the Supreme Court and shall serve as Chief Judge of the Court of the Judiciary; two judges of the circuit court, who shall be selected by the Circuit Judges' Association; and one district judge who shall be selected by the District Judges' Association. Other members of the Court of the Judiciary shall consist of two members of the state bar, who shall be selected by the governing body of the Alabama State Bar; two persons who are not lawyers who shall be appointed by the Governor; and one person appointed by the Lieutenant Governor. Members appointed by the Governor and Lieutenant Governor shall be subject to Senate confirmation before serving. Provided, however, that on January 1, 2005, the appointment authority granted to the Lieutenant Governor shall revert to the Governor and the Governor shall therefore be entitled to appoint three persons who are not lawyers, subject to Senate confirmation. The court shall be convened to hear complaints filed by the Judicial Inquiry Commission. The court shall have authority, after notice and public hearing (1) to remove from office, suspend without pay, or censure a judge, or apply such other sanction as may be prescribed by law, for violation of a Canon of Judicial Ethics, misconduct in office, failure to perform his duties, or (2) to suspend with or without pay, or to retire a judge who is physically or mentally unable to perform his duties.

Will Judge Moore and Paris Hilton appear on the same talk show on the same day? (Or star in the same movie?)

Sound just like those defending the Dixie Chicks. Where has Moore's freedom of speech been threatened? It seems like he won't shut up. He wasn't removed for stating his beliefs, he was removed because he didn't have the authority to place the stone there in the first place.

Many NAZI's were following the law of their land too! I wonder what it takes now days for someone to stand up for what is right? If we go down the path of you follow the law no matter what we are no better than previous regimes...
