Ann is on the wrong side of this one. Moore's monument, unlike the other displays, was combined with his rhetoric.
He was not elected to enforce "God's law", nor was he elected to tell people what God's law was. Publicly stating that his authority derived from God, rather than the good people of Alabama, is seriously over the top. Publicly stating that the Alabama constitution "required him to acknowledge God" was a blatant falsehood - there's no such requirement.
It's not about God or the Ten Commandments, it's all about Roy.

Government officials are inherently trustworthy, unless they are American government officials. Then they are lying. Hmmmm . . . you must have trained at the same school I did -- Ss. Che and Fidel Academy of the Northeast.
BTW, Happy Clinton Impeachment Day -- can you believe its been five years!

"There are more than a few Freepers who need to read this very carefully."
I read it very carefully and found it to be totally repugnent - supporting a judge with so little regard for the law. Judges, and the rest of us can disobey any law we want - as long as we're ready to accept the outcome of our actions.
To: hinterlander
What a gal! ...Liberals disagreed with the Supreme Court in Bush v. Gore and consequently refuse to allow the President to appoint judges. (And consider that the media consortium recount has now proved that under any recount ordered by any court or requested by any party in Bush v. Gore, Bush would still have won Florida.) Texas Democrats fled rather than accept lawful re-districting. Frank Lautenberg entered the New Jersey Senate race after the deadline when it became clear the Democrats' lawful candidate was going to lose. Clinton openly perjured himself, hid evidence and suborned the perjury of others rather than obey court rulings. So we had better take down those Ten Commandments prontootherwise liberals won't respect the rule of law! That paragraph completely exposes the truth of 'lie'beralism ... 'rule of law' is a code for liberals' 'obey our judicial ologarchy or we'll punish you under the guise of disobeying the law. 'Constitution? We don't need no stinkin' Constitution 'cause we got the judges.'

I read it very carefully and found it to be totally repugnent - supporting a judge with so little regard for the law. This is a very real and very important question.
Suppose a sitting judge ruling the 2nd ammendment unconstitutional.
What would you do?
Would his rule be law?
Shalom.

I think it's oligarchy. Unless it has to do with oleo, a form of margarine. Which is a form of that which is not butter, and there IS NO BUTTER IN HELL!
To: squarebarb
Margarine is 'fake butter' ... judicial oleogarchy is 'fake justice', a typical democrat offering, 'fake'

The great conservative attorney general of Alabama, Bill Pryor, openly disagreed with the court's ruling in the Ten Commandments case. But he said, as attorney general, he would have to enforce it. His nomination to a federal appellate court is still being blocked by Senate Democratsbecause, they say, he won't enforce laws he disagrees with. No way will they let Pryor through. So that's worked out well.Annie had her gun set on auto when she was writing this one. LOL. Love that gal.

Moore won his case about having the Ten Commandments in his courtroom.
Because it made him famous, he decided to go it one better - his rock.
Had he coordinated it with the other supreme court justices, he'd have had support. But the real problem was his own mouth.
Telling people his monument was "from God" and that others were not clearly meant he was the arbiter for the Almighty. Stating that his judicial authority came from God meant he, in his secular position, was acting on behalf of God. Stating that God's law was superior to man's law raised valid questions about what law he'd try to enforce. Stating that the Alabama constitution required him to recognize God (which is a flat out falsehood) raused similar questions.
By saying all these things he used his state office to advance a particular religion.
That's wrong. It's wrong if Roy does it, and it's wrong if anybody else does it as well.
The "useful idiots" are the ones who can't see the difference between Roy boy's self aggrandizement and legitimate public religious displays.

His authority does derive from God, ultimately. He is accountable for that power. The people may elect Judge Moore, but they are not sovereign over God.
