[Servant of the 9]

My understanding is that there is nothing to keep him from running for his old position. After this whole episode, he just might be re-elected unanimously.

I think his press conference (ongoing) will get him disbarred. Then he can't run again.

When does he start his campaign for Governor of Alabama (today?)?

How bad is the press conference? Bringing bench and bar into direpute, hurling accusations?

Although there is no chance that he would be disbarred for making statements at a press conference, disbarring him would all but guarantee his landslide election to the governorship.

I doubt he will be disbarred. The worst he'll get is a public reprimand from the state bar. Keep in mind that lawyers who embezzle their client's funds typically receive 2-5 year suspensions, and in many states, disbarment isn't even "permanent." You can reapply to the bar after a certain period of time.

Bottom line is that people do far worse than what Moore has done, and end up with a slap on the wrist. I would really be surprised to see any type of sanction.

Nothing says you have to be a lawyer to be a judge.

Disbar him and he can still run.
