YAHOO article here

Longer CNN article

They made the right call, IMHO.

Your link is inverted.

Potentially not a huge loss for him. Nothing in alabama law says he can't just run for the same office again.

 

[dpm]

fixed link

 

[TheBoyBlunder]

5 minutes until this becomes a massive flame war.
*dons nomex suit*

You realize that all this was just a publicity stunt so the moron could get elected in the first place, right?

Good.

 

[kage69]

Bout time!

But I'm sure he's thrilled, now he gets to be a martyr of sorts for all the sheeople down in the 'Belt.

Hopefully this will encourage others to 'Keep thy religion to thyself.'

 

[Fausto]

Hehe....sweet.

$5 says he founds a congregation within a month now that he'll have lots of free time.

 

[Kadarin]

Good! That fvcking idiot most definitely does NOT belong in any kind of public office.

 

[StageLeft]

What a mess...

 

[GroundZero]

religious freaks do not belong in the judicial system

 

[FoBoT]

he'll run for govenor now

Interestingly it's not as clean cut as one might think. For instance the prosecutor wanted Moore to agree that he'd not achknowledge God again in public office, which by Moore's estimation (and correctly so) is quite impossible to do when people are swearing an oath on the bible and things of that nature. He defied a federal court order, and shouldn't have snuck this thing in there, but it's not like the blame is entirely his. It's somewhat of a catch 22 and reminds me a little of the lunacy that mrsskoorb had to embrace to get her nursing license, as things just go around in circles and there is no way out of it.

 

[erikistired]

it's refreshing to see someone stand up for what he/she believes in instead of just bowing down to political correctness. it's a shame more people don't have a fraction of spine or sack that he does.

Yep, he goofed big time in promoting religion but the groups pushing to remove all references to religion march on. Huge thread in P&N on it.

These people are looking to do precisely that, stop the use of swearing an oath, remove all crosses from Federal property such as at Arlington Cemetery, remodel the Supreme Court Building to remove Mosses holding the Tablets and rid the Tablets from the front door, remove "In God We Trust" from the money etc etc. They will not stop.

That is unfortunate. The people on that end of the spectrum are just as bad as the "religious freaks". I just don't understand why people are incapable of finding a common ground.

Yeah, I'm gonna go burn a cross on top of Stone Mountain in honor of his vast sack and spine.

Alabama's chief justice was removed from office on Thursday for refusing to obey a federal order to move a Ten Commandments monument in a dispute that fueled a national debate over the place of God in public life.

Good. Another victory for a secular US.

 

[Vette73]

He probable will/has been disbared, which means he can NOT be a judge.

Another thing, in NC you do NOT have to use a bible to be under oath in court. When I was in jury duty you were put under oth BUT before I or anyone else could say anything, she said we did NOT have to put our hand on the bible. I was hoping I could get out of jury duty that way, but nope.
So if you are called for jury duty in your state that may work for you, but in NC it does not.


But glad he is gone.

and then he will run for Moses

 

[cmdavid]

love him or hate him, you gotta respect him for standing up for what his conscious and beliefs have called him to do... he didn't give in to political pressure nor even the threat of losing his job...

 

[Vic]

Somewhat sad... but he made the mistake of putting his personal beliefs ahead of the law he was sworn to uphold, so I can't feel sorry for him.

many people of different religions, i can't think of a more common ground than the absence of reference to any one religion
