The Federalist noted the remarkable parallel between bishops in the Episcopal Church who "interpret" Scripture to comport with their political and social agendas in violation of their ordinal vows, and judges who "interpret" the Constitution to comport with their political and social agendas, in violation of their oath to uphold our nation's legal foundation. Neither interpretation honors the original word and intent of those founding texts. Instead, they offer nothing more than a reflection of themselves as if they authored those venerable words.
Noooooooooooooooo kidding!

William Pryor has acknowledge that Judge Moore's interpretation of the 1st Amendment is correct. He has also vowed to uphold the supreme law of the land.
What is the supreme law of the land? Of course, it's the Constitution.
Therefore, when he says that the Federal Court is WRONG about the 1st Amendment, he is saying that they are wrong about the supreme law of the land.
But, who does he say should be followed in this case? He says we should follow the federal judge who ruled RATHER THAN the supreme law of the land.
Therefore, WHO does Pryor actually think is the supreme law of the land?
He believes in the judges. Not in the Constitution.
I don't care now if Pryor gets filibustered by the US Senate. This case has shown him to be another trojan horse, another Sandra Day O'Conner.

Justice Moore -- -- will prepare a new petition to the U.S. Supreme Court "to resolve clearly our inalienable rights to acknowledge God under the First Amendment."
This right has never been at issue.
Moore, Keyes, and hundreds of other politicians have been cynically brewing up a tempest in a teapot.
No ones rights have been violated, and Moores efforts to be the souths foremost interior decorator have been rejected.
This too will pass.
