[Khephra]

Alabama Supreme Court Justice Who Was Ousted Over Commandments Standoff Asks to Be Reinstated

The Associated Press



MONTGOMERY, Ala. Jan. 8 — 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. He said he lost his post because he failed a "religious test" that forced him to choose between his job and his allegiance to God.

2. Uh, hello (knock knoch) Roy, hello, Roy. Anybody home?

The constitution says there isn't supposed to be a religious check. Sit down Roy or run back to freepersville where reality doesn't matter.

4. Out of the spotlight

He was out of the spotlight for a couple of weeks. Now, he's going to hold his breath until he passes out or someone notices him again.

6. Ol' Roy is trying to make a constitutional argument for his job back as

Article VI, Section 3,of the U.S. Constitution says ". . . no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States."

Lots of luck AH

9. I didn't realize that

whether you would selectively obey the orders of the court was a "religious test".

What a kook.

7. His martyrdom tour around the US must not have been that successful

Make him go to the unemployment line like 3 million others in this country have had to do.

8. Maybe the fundraising for the Senate race wasn't going so well

Welcome back Roy. Good luck with that constitution thingy.
