The court had no choice. He failed to perform his duties within the law.

He does have the right to appeal.

[Catspaw]

He can appeal to the Alabama Supreme Court. It gets trickier because some or all of the justices have a conflict of interest because they worked with Moore, so the Governor (or someone else) would have to appoint substitute justices.

I love how the judge invoked contrition etc in his decision.

Ten commandments bad Contrition good?

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

I thought State SC Justices had to be impeached.

He says that all he did was acknowledge God.

He says that the court opens with the words "God save the court," that people put their hands on the bible and say, "so help me God", etc., etc.

He read from the transcript where Pryor's questions were about whether he insisted on his right to acknowledge God even when he's chief justice. He said he would insist on that right and do the same thing.

He also suggested that the court was held in secret and was fixed ahead of time. Otherwise, why not televise something as simple as a hearing about a statue.

Bull! It is the Federal courts and that cretin Pryor who failed to perform their duties under the law. These tyrants want to make SECULAR-HUMANISM the established national religion! They have a TWISTED revisionist view of the 1st Amendment - history is clear on what the 1st amendment is about.

Here is what Roy Moore said about them, truth be told:

"Their approach is very deceptive. That's what it is. They yell, "separation of church and state!" but they want to exclude the knowledge of God. And they've led people to believe that the phrase "separation of church and state" actually separates God and government, and God from our life and Christian principles. That is absolutely not true, historically, legally or logically. It's completely the opposite. The very phrase "separation of church and state" mandates an acknowledgement of God. It mandates that you recognize that God separated the jurisdiction of the church from the jurisdiction of the state. ... Throughout the Old and New Testaments you see a separation of those things which belong to Caesar, and those things which belong to God. "

Moore is right on historically. The founders put God as ultimate sovereign over civil govt. and the church. Our rights come from God not the ACLU or the govt!!

ROY MOORE IS PUTTING GOD AND MORAL PRINCIPLE AHEAD OF HIS WELL BEING! I SALUTE HIM! HE IS A HERO. This is only the beginning of the WAR that will be fought over the tyrannical attempts to erase God from this land. I WILL FIGHT to keep my God-given rights.

It's time for all God-fearing Americans to DEFY and disobey bad rulings by bad judges! It's time for civil disobedience on a grand scale. They can't do anything about it and have no means to enforce these rulings should millions of Americans defy them!! Rise up church! The time is now.

#5..I guess you're entitled to your opinion, but I plain don't agree with you!

[Al Simmons]

Right. He chose to "fall on his sword" for the sake of publicizing and advancing the cause of the protection of our religious liberties - there was no way they could have kept him "in" after he publicly defied the (idiotic and unconstitutional) Federal Court Order. Slavery was once protected in like fashion.

I hope Moore will run for Governor or Senator next (if there are any Rats left to defeat in Alabama, that is...)
