Roy Moore's former top aide won in the Republican primary for the Alabama Supreme Court, but three other acolytes of the ousted chief justice fell short of victory.

Tom Parker unseated Associate Justice Jean Brown -- who became the target of Moore's supporters after she voted to remove his Ten Commandments monument.

"We had an unelected federal judge order the removal of the Ten Commandments monument. Chief Justice Moore was removed by an unelected group of judges," Parker said. "This is the first time that the people had a chance to let their voices be heard."

With 99 percent of precincts reporting in the unofficial count of the GOP primary, Parker had 107,160 votes, or 51 percent, to Brown's 103,123 votes, or 49 percent.

Do you really believe that the ACLU or any of their ilk care what the masses or majority thinks or wants? They will shrug this off and laugh knowing full well that the majority no longer rules this country in many/most forums.

Yeah I know all the left cares about is what their judges will mandate, the will of the people is irrelevant. But its still nice to make them squirm about what will happen when all their judges are gone and the Republicans won't give them any more "litmus testers."
