Is it finally over?
Roy Moore, champion of the tangible over intangible spirituality, champion of those who have to shove their beliefs down the throats of others, Chief Justice who flagrantly ignores Federal Court orders because it suits his political agenda, has received the harshest sanction possible for a judge.
Of course, the confused nincompoops who think he was kicked out because he upheld Christian tenets are completely missing the point. The man tried to "in your face" and it backfired. You can't be a federal judge and disregard the constitution and the rulings of courts above you. That's all there is to it.
If former Chief Justice Moore was truly a man with a conscience, he would not have put the judiciary of Alabama into the situation where non christians have to wonder whether their rights mean as much as christians. Instead, he would have resigned rather than carry out the court order rather than defy it. Under what other circumstances would this man have decided his interpretation of divinity prevails over precedent or orders from higher courts?
The irony here is that if Moore decides to appeal, the case will be heard by the very same court he just was removed from.
