Ten Commandments Judge Removed From Bench

[sharonstone]

MONTGOMERY, Ala. - Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore was removed from office Thursday for refusing to obey a federal court order to move his Ten Commandments monument from the rotunda of the state courthouse.


The state Court of the Judiciary unanimously imposed the harshest penalty possible after a one-day trial in which Moore said his refusal was a moral and lawful acknowledgment of God. Prosecutors said Moore's defiance, left unchecked, would harm the judicial system.


Moore, a champion of religious conservatives, had been suspended since August but was allowed to collect his $170,000 annual salary. He was halfway through his six-year term.

1. I am very pleased...

He's an foul, Nazi-like individual. Now he must be politically destroyed as well. I think some racist connections should be discovered and exposed.

5. A bit of Justice, eh?

Ya know, I try to live by the 'Ten Ways To A Good Life', and I'll be damned if I need a mere mortal government trying to remind me. Maybe some do, I dunno.

Besides, God really doesn't need government to show God's power.
