You weren't a member in 2000, so I doubt you saw my posts about the SCOFLA. If you did, you wouldn't have said that.
LOLOLOLOLOLOL. Sounds like here. I despise the Dems so much I can't bring myself (usually) to go 3rd Party. But I am tempted.
The ONLY reason a judge would ever have to do this is if there is no American precedent to back up a predetermined ruling.
yup
But that's the point. It has been abandoned/ignored/scoff at by those on the bench. They are so insulated they feel they are unaccountable.
Moore may be the first guy to actually take them on in an honorable way. He didn't hurt anybody or steal anybody's property. All he did was put up a rock with some words on it.
If he had put up a statue of a couple of men committing sodomy, when a fed judge have ruled that unconstitutional? Of course not. OTOH, I'd give you odds that any attempt to take that statue down by the governor or legislature would have been ruled such.
If you don't respect the Rule of Law, you have no business being in the government, period.
We got five, maybe six, of them on there now. And that's just the SCOTUS.
I was Moore was a Pa. justice. Check link
That's a totally bankrupt position. Any future ruling of his means squat. He took a position which totally trashed the judiciary, as a judge no less, and so he's done.
He wants to parlay that into an elected political position, which is fine except that I can see how he deliberately defrauded his supporters. They should be tar and feathering him, not honoring him.
Who do you think is a worse judge -- Moore or Ginsburg?
Moore is the worse judge, because he says his opinions aren't meaningful.
But he says the Constitution is, unlike Ginsburg et al.
No, No, No, No, No
If you want Don Siegelman to be elected to a 2nd term (because he's gonna destroy Baxley) then by all means, support Roy Moore in the primary
You want a Democratic governor, then go right ahead.
Roy will kill all attempts to try and recruit business to this state, for starters, he has a negative image, but more important, he's anti-business, he's made this clear on several occasions, he thinks business led to the moral decline of the country.
There is no way Alabama can attract good white collar jobs if we have that siph in as Governor
They are not trying to create a controversy.
The Alabama Business Community does not want this two bit Gadsden charlatan anywhere near the Governor's mansion. Incidentally, Gadsden is heavily unionized, are we to summize that Roy Moore will be a friend to organized labor.
He's already a friend to Jere Beasley, Terry Butts, his chief advocate, he's well known as a trial lawyer con-artist.
And Roy Moore's slate in the GOP primary, the only candidate who didn't get a majority of his funding from trial lawyers was Tom Parker.
I may live on Dog River now, but I am a Spring Hill Republican to the core, take from that what you will.
"Moore's positions are just being used to scare the potential Democat Party rank and file converts to the republican party"
If Roy Moore gets elected governor, you can rest assured that 2 of our state's Republican forefathers, Langan and Outlaw, will be turning over in their graves.
