A small group supporting suspended Alabama Supreme Court Chief Justice Roy Moore waved "Judge Moore is Right!" signs and handed out flyers at a major intersection in Pelham on Monday morning until police showed up. * * * Moore was automatically suspended from the bench in May after the Alabama Judicial Inquiry Commission filed judicial ethics charges regarding a January order he issued to state probate judges. That order stated the Alabama Supreme Court's March 2015 order telling probate judges not to issue same-sex marriage licenses was still in place, despite the U.S. Supreme Court's June 2015 decision legalizing [homosexual]...

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...

Roy Moore, who was ousted as Alabama's chief justice for refusing to remove a Ten Commandments monument from the state judicial building, asked the state Supreme Court on Thursday to return him to office. Moore argued in legal briefs that his expulsion sets a "dangerous precedent" and requires judges to deny their oath of office and religious faith. The former chief justice was appealing the Nov. 13 decision of the Alabama Court of the Judiciary to oust him for refusing a federal court order to move the 5,300-pound monument from the Alabama Judicial Building's rotunda. U.S. District Judge Myron Thompson...

Liberty Letters, Jefferson, Letter 6 On Monday, March 4, 1805, Thomas Jefferson gave his Second Inaugural Address as president of the United States. In his closing remarks he painted a provocative parallel between the settling and establishment of the United States following our exodus from tyrants in Europe, and the settling and establishment of ancient Israel following the Israelites’ exodus from tyrants in Egypt. He referred to God as “that Being in whose hands we are, who led our forefathers, as Israel of old, from their native land, and planted them in a country flowing with all the necessaries and...

I was just on live with Alan Colmes. Alabama AG Pryor was on and then Justice Moore (i.e. at separate times). I didn't get to hear AG Pryor, but I did get to hear Justice Moore. Unfortunately, I just barely missed getting to talk with Justice Moore, but I did get on with Alan and was able to give my interpretation of the Ten Commandments on the air, as expressed in the above URL. I would have loved to have gotten Justice Moore's response.

Sheep and goats. In the Bible, we often read about two different animals, sheep and goats. Both are compared to and used in reference to people. Jesus says in Matthew chapter twenty five that on the day of judgement He will separate the sheep from the goats. When the Son of man shall come in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then shall He sit upon the throne of His glory, and before Him shall be gathered all nations: and He shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats. And...

Commandments fray goes beyond Alabama Christian proponents have been on the losing end of legal battles, but many now feel energized by a new cause. By Glynn Wilson | Special to The Christian Science Monitor MONTGOMERY, ALA. - Jesse Truax, wearing a crown of thorns, is grimacing from the prickle as sweat wends down his cheeks in the sweltering heat. After a daylong bus ride, he's here all the way from Eustis, Fla., with a group of 33 from his Baptist church, vowing to "stay as long as it takes" to keep the sacred Ten Commandments monument here in the...

A frieze depicting Moses holding two tablets with the Ten Commandments is fixed high above the justices' bench at the Supreme Court, one of several places the biblical law is represented in the marbled building. But those same justices this week rejected a request to allow a 5,300-pound granite marker with the Ten Commandments carved into it to stay in Alabama's Judicial Building. It's another illustration of the seemingly conflicting messages about how much religion can legally be in government. God is in the details -- even the grand designs -- of the republic. Some of the expressions of religion...
