Remember that Moore’s appeal was dismissed by SCOTUS without dissent.
The issue at hand for Pryor was not the display, but the judge’s actions in the face of a final ruling, all appeals, including two to the SCt, having been exhausted.

We know how Trump felt about Kim Davis’ religious freedom. She has to “follow the law.” This pick is entirely consistent with that anti-religion philosophy.
It’s very easy for states to simply ignore unjust federal rulings and laws. The law is an ass. We have laws on the books that get ignored and violated every day and are never enforced. When someone is too cowardly or too much of a brownshirted, jackbooted thug to value freedom over an unjust law, then they are a traitor to the cause.
States are openly ignoring federal marijuana laws right now. With G.W. in office from a practical perspective, he never would’ve had the feds enforce the 10 commandments ruling in Alabama. So all Alabama had to do was to ignore it and Roy Moore would’ve been safe. This judge and the others took a stand, they bear responsibility for it, and “just following orders” is no excuse.
