Judge Roy MooreChief Justice AL Supreme Court
CHRISTIPEDIA: INTERNET INFIDELS, 12 PROOFS For GOD

Alabama "Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, Judge Roy Moore, American Guardian of the "TEN COMMANDMENTS!"

Literally a "Hero" for the Conservative Right, The Judaeo-Christian Community, the State of Alabama and the USA!

American Founding Fathers would surely be Proud!

What is posting the Ten Commandments in a Courthouse "Against Labor Laws?"

You can't post "Thou shalt not Steal," "Thou shalt not Commit Adultery," "Thou Shalt Not Lie" , "Thou shalt not Lust (covet) in a building full of lawyers and politicians without creating a hostile work environment.

Judge Roy Stewart Moore was born 2-11-1947, is an American jurist and Republican politician noted for his refusal, as the elected Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Alabama, to remove a monument of the Ten Commandments from the Alabama Judicial Building despite orders to do so from a federal judge.

On November 13, 2003, the Alabama Court of the Judiciary unanimously removed Moore from his post as Chief Justice.

In the years preceding his election to the Alabama Supreme Court, Moore had successfully resisted previous attempts to have a display of the Ten Commandments removed from the courtroom where he was employed. The controversy around Moore generated national attention.

Moore's supporters regard his stand as a defense of "judicial rights" and the Constitution of Alabama. Moore contends that federal judges who ruled against his actions consider "obedience of a court order superior to all other concerns, even the suppression of belief in the sovereignty of God."[1]

Moore sought the Republican nomination:

>> for the governorship of Alabama in 2006, but lost to incumbent Bob Riley in the June primary by a nearly 2-to-1 margin.

>> On June 1, 2009 he announced his campaign for the 2010 election for governor.[2] Moore placed fourth in the race held on June 1, 2010, having received only 19 percent of the vote.

>> On April 18, 2011, Moore announced that he was forming an exploratory committee to run in the Republican presidential primaries in 2012.[3][4] That campaign failed to gain traction.

>> He began to draw speculation in the media as being a potential Constitution Party presidential contender.[5][6] In November 2011, Moore withdrew his exploratory committee and ended all speculation of a presidential candidacy.

>> Then he instead announced that he would in 2012 seek his former post of Chief Justice of the Alabama Supreme Court.[7] On March 13, 2012, he won the Republican primary for the position, and is heavily favored to win again in the general election.[8][9]

Judge Roy MooreChief Justice AL Supreme Court
CHRISTIPEDIA: INTERNET INFIDELS, 12 PROOFS For GOD

Moore was born in Gadsden, the seat of Etowah County, to Roy Baxter Moore (died 1967) and the former Evelyn Stewart. The couple had met and married after his discharge from the United States Army during World War II.

Roy was the oldest of five children, three boys and two girls, born to the couple. Moore describes his father, a construction worker, as "a hardworking man who earned barely enough to make ends meet, but he taught me more than money could ever buy.

From him I learned about honesty, integrity, perseverance, and never to be ashamed of who you are or what you believe in.

Early on my dad shared with me the truth about God's love and the sacrifice of His own son, Jesus."

Moore described his mother as a "homemaker who was always there to help me with my schoolwork."[1]

In 1954, the Moores relocated to Houston, Texas, site of a postwar building boom. After some four years, they returned to Alabama, then moved to Pennsylvania, and returned permanently to Alabama.

In his later year, the senior Moore worked for the Tennessee Valley Authority building dams and later the Anniston Army Depot. Moore attended school his freshman year at Gallant near Gadsden but transferred to Etowah County High School for his final three years of public education, having graduated in 1965.[1]

On the recommendation of outgoing Democratic U.S. Representative Albert Rains and confirmed by incoming Republican Representative James D. Martin of Gadsden, Moore was admitted to the United States Military Academy at West Point, New York, where he graduated in 1969 with a Bachelor of Science degree.

With the Vietnam War underway, Moore first served in several posts as a military police officer, including Fort Benning, Georgia, and Illesheim, Germany before being sent to South Vietnam. Moore served as company commander of his MP unit and was known to be very strict. Some of the soldiers gave him the derogatory nickname, "Captain America," because of his attitude toward discipline.

His role earned him several enemies, and in his autobiography he recalls sleeping on sandbags to avoid a grenade or bomb being tossed under his cot, as many had threatened fragging the commander.

Moore left the United States Army as a captain in 1974, and was admitted to the University of Alabama School of Law in Tuscaloosa that same year. He graduated in 1977 with a Juris Doctor degree and returned to Gadsden to begin private practice with a focus on personal injury and insurance cases.

CHRISTIPEDIA: INTERNET INFIDELS, 12 PROOFS For GOD

Moore soon moved to the district attorney's office, working as the first full-time prosecutor in Etowah County. During his tenure there, Moore was investigated by the state bar for "suspect conduct" after convening a grand jury to discuss what he perceived to have been funding shortages in the sheriff's office.

Several weeks after the state bar investigation was dismissed as unfounded, Moore quit his prosecuting position to run as a Democrat for the county's circuit-court judge seat in 1982. The election was bitter, with Moore alleging that cases were being delayed in exchange for payoffs.

The allegations were never substantiated, and Moore overwhelmingly lost the Democratic runoff primary to fellow attorney Donald Stewart, whom Moore described as "an honorable man for whom I have much respect, and he eventually became a close friend."[1]

A second bar complaint against Moore followed, and though this too was dismissed as unfounded, Moore left Gadsden shortly thereafter in great disappointment.

Moore's travels eventually took him to Texas, wherehe spent a year training and fighting professionally as a kickboxer. After a brief return to Gadsden, Moore next travelled to the Australian Outback and, after meeting Fundamentalist Christian Colin Rolfe, worked for almost a year as a cowboy on Rolfe's 42,000-acre (170 km2) cattle ranch.

He remembered both careers fondly in his autobiography and subsequent interviews and was particularly proud of a kickboxing victory in the Greater Gadsden Tournament of Champions, a triumph he attributed to divine will.

Moore returned to Gadsden again in 1985.

He ran in 1986 for Etowah County's district attorney position against fellow Democrat Jimmy Hedgspeth. He lost that election as well, and Moore returned to private practice in the city.

During this period, he married his wife Kayla, switched his affiliation to the GOP, and added to his office a wooden Ten Commandments plaque that he had personally carved in 1980.

In 1992, Etowah County Circuit Judge Julius Swann died in office. Republican Governor Guy Hunt was charged with making a temporary appointment until the next election. Moore's name was floated by some of his associates, and a background check was initiated with several state and county agencies, including the Etowah County district attorney's office.

Moore's former political opponent Jimmy Hedgspeth, who still helmed the D.A.'s office, recommended Moore despite personal reservations, and Moore was installed in the position he had failed to win in 1982.

"The impossible had happened!" Moore wrote afterward. "God had given me something that I had not been able to obtain through my own efforts."[10]

When Moore's tenure as circuit judge began, he brought his wooden Ten Commandments plaque with him, hanging it on the walls of his courtroom behind his bench.

Moore told the Montgomery Advertiser that his intention in hanging the plaque was to fill up the bare space on the courtroom walls and to indicate the importance of the Ten Commandments.

He states that it was not his intention to generate controversy; still, as he told the Atlantic, he understood that the potential for controversy was there, but "I wanted to establish the moral foundation of our law."

Soon after his appointment, when Moore presided over a case where two male strippers - seemingly "overt" homosexuals known professionally as "Silk" and "Satin" - were charged with murdering a drug addict, the attorney for the defendants objected to the display.

This drew the attention of critics, who also objected to Moore's practice of opening court sessions with a prayer beseeching Divine Guidance for jurors in their deliberations.

In some instances, Judge Moore asked a clergyman to lead the court's jury pool in prayer. Though such pre-session prayers were not uncommon in Alabama, having begun many years earlier by George C. Wallace, Jr., when he was a circuit judge, the local branch of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) sent a letter in June 1993 with the threat of a lawsuit if such prayers did not cease.

On June 20, 1994, the ACLU sent a representative to Moore's courtroom to observe and record the pre-session prayer. Though the organization did not immediately file suit, Moore decried the action as an "act of intimidation" in a post-trial press conference.

The incident drew additional attention to Moore just as he was campaigning to hold onto his circuit court seat. In that year's election, Moore won the seat in a landslide victory over local attorney Keith Pitts, who had (unsuccessfully) prosecuted the "Silk and Satin" murder case.

THESIS, TOPIC: ROY MOORE, Chief Justice Supreme Court AL, was "defrocked" from this lofty perch in 2003 for REFUSING to remove a TEN COMMANDMENTS MONUMENT from Court Property.

After five attempts seeking public office - all failed - Judge Moore was re-elected CHIEF JUSTICE of ALABAMA'S SUPREME COURT Mar 13, 2011, in an election that NOT one poll gave him any chance of winning!

In March 1995, the ACLU filed a lawsuit against Moore, claiming that the pre-session prayers and the Ten Commandments display were both unconstitutional. This original lawsuit was eventually dismissed for technical reasons, but Governor Fob James instructed state Attorney General Bill Pryor to file suit in Montgomery County in support of Moore.

The case ended up before state Circuit Judge Charles Price, who in 1996 declared the prayers unconstitutional but initially allowed the Ten Commandments plaque to remain on the courtroom walls.

Immediately after the ruling, Moore held a press conference vowing to defy the ruling against pre-session prayers and affirming a religious intent in displaying the plaque.

Critics responded by asking Price to reconsider his previous ruling, and the judge issued a new ruling requiring the Ten Commandments plaque to be removed in ten days.

Moore appealed Price's decision and kept the plaque up; ten days later the Alabama Supreme Court issued a temporary stay against the ruling.

The Court never ruled in the case, throwing it out for technical reasons in 1998.

On the day that the circuit court ruling was stayed, Moore appeared on the national morning program Today, praising the ruling and vowing to continue his practices.

A poll released soon after found that 88 percent of Alabamians supported Moore.

Though Moore was later investigated by the state Judicial Ethics Committee regarding the use of money raised by Coral Ridge Ministries in his defense, the investigation eventually ended with no charges being brought.

Chief Justice, Alabama Supreme Court, Campaign and election

In late 1999, the Christian Family Association began working to draft Moore into the race for Chief Justice of the Alabama Supreme Court, when incumbent Republican Perry O. Hooper, Sr., of Montgomery announced that he would not seek reelection.

Moore said that he was hesitant to make the statewide race because he had "absolutely no funds" and three other candidates, particularly Associate Justice Harold See, were well-financed.[1]

Nevertheless, on December 7, 1999, Moore announced from his Etowah County courtroom that he would enter the race with hope of returning "God to our public life and restore the moral foundation of our law."

His campaign, centered on religious issues, arguing that Christianity's declining influence "corresponded directly with school violence, homosexuality, and crime."[10]

Associate Justice Harold See was the heavy favorite to win the Republican nomination because of his support from the state business community and the party hierarchy, including Chief Justice Hooper.

However, as Moore made headway in state polls, his opponent elicited the help of Republican strategist Karl Rove, advisor to Texas Governor and future President George W. Bush.

Despite Rove's support and significantly more campaign funding, Judge See lost the primary to Moore, who then easily defeated Democratic contender Sharon Yates in November's general election.

Moore was sworn in as Chief Justice on January 15, 2001.

Republican former U.S. Representative James D. Martin, who had appointed Moore to West Point years earlier, was among the dignitaries in attendance. On taking the position, Moore said

that he had "come to realize the real meaning of the First Amendment and its relationship to the God on whom the oath was based.

My mind had been opened to the spiritual war occurring in our state and our nation

that was slowly removing the knowledge of that relationship between God and law.

"I pledged to support not only the U.S. Constitution, but the Alabama Constitution as well, which provided in its preamble that the state 'established justice' by 'invoking the favor and guidance of Almighty God.'

The connection between God and our law could not be more clear ..."[1]

In February 2002, as Alabama Chief Justice, Moore issued a controversial opinion that expressed his belief that the State should use its powers to punish "homosexual behavior".

The case, D.H. vs. H.H., was a custody dispute where a lesbian was petitioning for custody of her children, alleging abuse by her ex-husband. A circuit court in Alabama had ruled in favor of the father, but the Alabama Court of Civil Appeals overturned that verdict 4-1, claiming that substantial evidence existed of abusive behavior by the father.[11]

The state Supreme Court overruled the appeals court on technical reasons;

However, Moore issued a concurring opinion concluding

that a parent's sexual orientation (in this case, homosexuality) should be a deciding factor in refusing custody:

"To disfavor practicing homosexuals in custody matters is not invidious discrimination, nor is it legislating personal morality.

On the contrary, disfavoring practicing homosexuals in custody matters promotes the general welfare of the people of our State in accordance with our law, which is the duty of its public servants...

The State carries the power of the sword, that is, the power to prohibit conduct with physical penalties, such as confinement and even execution.

***It must use that power to prevent the subversion of children toward this lifestyle, to not encourage a criminal lifestyle...

Homosexual behavior is a ground for divorce, an act of sexual misconduct punishable as a crime in Alabama,

a crime against nature, an inherent evil, and an act so heinous that it defies one's ability to describe it.

That is enough under the law to allow a court to consider such activity harmful to a child.

To declare that homosexuality is harmful is not to make new law but to reaffirm the old;

to say that it is not harmful is to experiment with people's lives, particularly the lives of children."[12]

Moore's comments led to protests in front of the state judicial building and drew nationwide criticism from civil rights groups such as GLAAD, the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, and the Human Rights Campaign.

An official complaint with the Alabama Judicial Inquiry Commission was also filed by the Lambda Legal Defense & Education Fund.[13]

A year following the case, the United States Supreme Court struck down statutes prohibiting gay sodomy such as and including the one Moore referred to - prohibiting same-gender sexual relations - as being unconstitutional in the landmark civil rights case Lawrence v. Texas.

Ten Commandments monument controversy Construction and installation ==

Ten Commandments monument commissioned by Roy Moore.

Just a month after his election, Moore began making plans for a larger monument to the Ten Commandments, reasoning that the Alabama Supreme Court building required something grander than a wooden plaque.

His final design involved a 5,280 pound (2400 kg) granite block, three feet wide by three feet deep by four feet tall, covered with quotes from the Declaration of Independence, the national anthem, and various founding fathers.[14]

The crowning element would be two large carved tablets inscribed with the Ten Commandments. High-grade granite from Vermont was ordered and shipped, and Moore found benefactors and a sculptor to complete the job.

On the evening of July 31, 2001, despite some initial installation difficulties and concerns regarding structural support for the monument's weight, Moore had the completed monument transported to the state judicial building and installed in the central rotunda.

The installation was filmed, and videotapes of the event were sold by Coral Ridge Ministries, an evangelical media outlet in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. This turned out to be "Divine Design" as Coral Ridge was later alse to use proceeds from the sales of the film to underwrite Moore's massive legal expenses.

Coral Ridge was the operation of the late Reverend D. James Kennedy, a staunch Reagan, "W" Bush, Roy Moore supporter.[15]

The next morning, Moore held a press conference in the central rotunda to officially unveil the monument. In a speech following the unveiling, Moore declared:

"Today a cry has gone out across our land for the acknowledgment of that God upon whom this nation and our laws were founded....

...May this day mark the restoration of the moral foundation of law to our people and the return to the knowledge of God in our land."

Just 90 days later on October 30, 2001, the ACLU of Alabama, Americans United for Separation of Church and State and the Southern Poverty Law Center were among groups . . .

. . . which filed suit in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Alabama, asking that the monument be removed because it "sends a message to all who enter the State Judicial Building that the government encourages and endorses the practice of religion in general and Judeo-Christianity in particular."

The trial, titled Glassroth v. Moore, began on October 15, 2002.

Evidence for the plaintiffs included testimony that lawyers of different religious beliefs had changed their work practices, including routinely avoiding visiting the court building to avoid passing by the monument, and testimony that the monument created a religious atmosphere, with many people using the area for prayer.

Moore argued that he would not remove the monument, as doing so would violate his oath of office:

"[The monument] serves to remind the Appellate Courts and judges of the Circuit and District Court of this State and members of the bar who appear before them, as well as the people of Alabama who visit the Alabama Judicial Building,

of the truth stated in the Preamble to the Alabama Constitution that in order to establish justice we must invoke 'the favor and guidance of almighty God."[14]

On this note, Moore claimed that the Ten Commandments are the "moral foundation" of U.S. law, stating that in order to restore this foundation, "we must first recognize the source from which all morality springs...[by] recogniz[ing] the sovereignty of God."

He added that the addition of the monument to the state judiciary building marked "the beginning of the restoration of the moral foundation of law to our people" and "a return to the knowledge of God in our land."[14]

Additionally, Moore acknowledged an explicit religious intent in placing the monument, agreeing that the monument "reflects the sovereignty of God over the affairs of men" and "acknowledge[s] God’s overruling power over the affairs of men."[16]

However, in Moore's view this did not violate the doctrine of separation of church and state; as the presiding judge later summarized it, Moore argued that "the Judeo-Christian God reigned over both the church and the state in this country, and that both owed allegiance to that God", although they must keep their affairs separate.[14]

Judgment and appeal

On November 18, 2002, federal U.S. District Judge Myron Thompson issued his ruling declaring that the monument violated the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution and was thus unconstitutional:

"If all Chief Justice Moore had done were to emphasize the Ten Commandments' historical and educational importance... or their importance as a model code for good citizenship... this court would have a much different case before it.

But the Chief Justice did not limit himself to this; he went far, far beyond. He installed a two-and-a-half ton monument in the most prominent place in a government building, managed with dollars from all state taxpayers, with the specific purpose and effect of establishing a permanent recognition of the 'sovereignty of God,'

. . . .The Judeo-Christian God, over all citizens in this country, regardless of each taxpaying citizen's individual personal beliefs or lack thereof. To this, the Establishment Clause says no."[14]

Judge Thompson's decision but stayed this order on December 23, 2002, after Moore appealed the decision to the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals.

This appeal was argued on June 4, 2003, before a three-judge panel in Atlanta, Georgia.

On July 1, 2003, the panel issued a ruling upholding the lower court's decision, agreeing that "the monument fails two of Lemon’s three prongs. It violates the Establishment Clause."

Additionally, the court noted that different religious traditions assign different wordings of the Ten Commandments, meaning that "choosing which version of the Ten Commandments to display can have religious endorsement implications."[16]

In response to the appeals court's decision, Judge Thompson lifted his earlier stay on August 5, 2003, requiring Moore to have the monument removed from public areas of the state judicial building by August 20.[17]

There was a Rally before the Alabama State Capitol, August 16, 2003.

On August 14, Moore announced his intention to disobey Judge Thompson's order to have the monument removed.

Two days later, large rallies in support of Moore and the Ten Commandments monument began forming in front of the judicial building, featuring speakers such as Alan Keyes, the Reverend Jerry Falwell, and Moore himself.

The crowd peaked at an estimated count of 4,000 that day,[18] and anywhere from several hundred to over a thousand protesters remained through the end of August.

The time limit for removal expired on August 20, with the monument still in place in the building's rotunda. As specified in Judge Thompson's order, the state of Alabama faced fines of $5,000 a day until the monument was removed.

In response, the eight other members of the Alabama Supreme Court intervened on August 21, unanimously overruled Moore, and ordered the removal of the monument.[19]

Moore said that Thompson, "fearing that I would not obey his order, decided to threaten other state officials and force them to remove the monument if I did not do so. A threat of heavy fines was his way of coercing obedience to that order," an action that Moore sees as a violation of the Eleventh Amendment to the United States Constitution.[1]

On August 27, the monument was moved to a non-public side room in the judicial building.[20]

The monument was not immediately removed from the building for several reasons—pending legal hearings, the monument's weight, worries that the monument could break through the floor if it was taken outside intact, and a desire to avoid confrontation with protesters massed outside the structure.

The monument was not actually removed from the state judicial building until July 19, 2004.[21]

On August 22, 2003, two days after the deadline for the Ten Commandments monument's removal had passed, the Alabama Judicial Inquiry Commission filed a complaint with the Alabama Court of the Judiciary (COJ), a panel of judges, lawyers and others appointed variously by judges, legal leaders, the governor and the lieutenant governor.

The complaint effectively suspended Moore from the Chief Justice position pending a hearing by the COJ.[22]The COJ ethics hearing was held on November 12, 2003.

Moore repeated his earlier sentiment that "to acknowledge God cannot be a violation of the Canons of Ethics. Without God there can be no ethics."

He also acknowledged that he would repeat his defiance of the court order if given another opportunity to do so, and that if he returned to office, "I certainly wouldn't leave [the monument] in a closet, shrouded from the public."

In closing arguments, the Assistant Attorney General said:

Moore's defiance, left unchecked, "undercuts the entire workings of the judicial system.... What message does that send to the public, to other litigants?

The message it sends is: If you don't like a court order, you don't have to follow it."[23] Moore had previously stated his belief that the order was unlawful, and that compliance with such an order was not an enforceable mandate.




The next day, the COJ issued a unanimous opinion ruling that "Chief Justice Moore has violated the Alabama Canons of Judicial Ethics as alleged by the JIC in its complaint."

The COJ had several disciplinary options, including censure or suspension without pay, but because Moore's responses had indicated he would defy any similar court orders in the future, the COJ concluded that "under these circumstances, there is no penalty short of removal from office that would resolve this issue."[24]

As Stephen was stoned and James beheaded . . .Moore was immediately removed from his post.

In his 2005 autobiography"So Help Me God!" Moore said he had:
"...absolutely no regrets.

I have done what I was sworn to do. It's about whether or not you can acknowledge God as a source of our law and our liberty. That's all I've done...I had threatened the philosophy of judicial supremacy.

Those who sat behind benches wearing black robes and wielding gavels did not want to be reminded that there is a God,

or for that matter, a Constitution that they were sworn to uphold.

Judicial restraint gave way to judicial tyranny, and a new law reigned — the rule of man."[1]




Later political life - Election issues and gubernatorial campaigns: 2004:

Moore was considered as a possible candidate for the Constitution Party in the 2004 presidential election. Despite encouragement from several corners, Moore did not pursue the nomination.

Moore was also a notable opponent of a proposed amendment to the Alabama constitution in 2004.

Known as Amendment 2, the proposed legislation would have removed wording from the state constitution that had long stood the test of time . . . that referred to poll taxes and required certain schools measures.

Moore and other opponents of the measure argued that the amendment's wording would have allowed federal judges to force the state to fund public school improvements with increased taxes.

MOORE WON . . . and voters in Alabama defeated the proposed amendment, with a margin of 1,850 votes out of 1.38 million cast.[25]

In 2004, along with Herb Titus, Moore was an original drafter of the Constitution Restoration Act:[26]

which sought to remove federal courts' jurisdiction over a government official or entity's "acknowledgment of God as the sovereign source of law, liberty, or government," and provided for the impeachment of judges who failed to do so.

The bill was introduced in both houses of Congress in 2004 and then reintroduced in 2005, but languished in committee both times.

On October 3, 2005, Moore announced that he would run against Governor Riley in the 2006 Republican gubernatorial primary in Alabama.

On the campaign trail, Moore referred to what he believed was the stand that the American founding fathers made for the biblical basis for law, including statements that he felt extolled the supremacy of God as the basis for successful government.

As with the 2000 Supreme Court election, Moore's opponent maintained steady advantages over the Moore campaign, including almost four times as much funding and the support of the state Republican establishment.

However, intra-party politics proved trickier this time around.

Moore accused the chair of the state's Republican Party of bias towards Riley and called on her to resign; he also criticized President Bush for his support of Riley in the race.

His criticism of the state Republican machine was so harsh that he eventually had to call a press conference to quell rumors that he would run as an independent if he lost the Republican primary.[27]

Despite Moore's predictions that his initial low polling numbers were inaccurate, Riley won the primary, 306,665 - 66.6 percent ("666!") to 153,354 - 33.34 percent.

In his concession speech, Moore told supporters that "God's will has been done."

Moore did not call Riley to concede and refused to support Riley in the general election because of Riley's acceptance of campaign contributions from political action committees.[27]

Despite losing the Republican primary Moore was endorsed as a write-in candidate in the general election by both the Alabama Constitution Party and the Jefferson Republican Party.

2008 - Moore was rumored as a possible candidate for the Constitution Party's nomination, but he did not seek the party's nomination, and was not considered for the nomination at the convention.

2010 - Alabama gubernatorial election, 2010

On June 1, 2009, Moore announced his campaign for the 2010 election for Governor of Alabama.[2] On April 17, 2010, former NASCAR driver Bobby Allison endorsed Moore for governor.[28][29]

In the June 1, 2010 primary election, Moore came in fourth place behind Bradley Byrne, Robert J. Bentley, and Tim James (son of former Governor Fob James).

Moore garnered only 19 percent of the vote.

2011

In 2011, Moore again announced a bid for the governor's office, but an exploratory committee soon found no support for his candidacy.

Instead, Moore chose to enter the race for the Alabama Supreme Court Chief Justice once again.

He ran against the setting chief justice in the primary held on March 13, 2010.

Former Democratic Attorney General Charles Graddick, a Republican convert, also sought the position.

2012 - On March 13, 2012 - where Rick Santorum won the Republican Primary in AL - Roy Moore tasted sweet success . . . winning over two formidable rivals!

AMAZINGLY . . . NOT ONE POLL HAD MOORE PICKED TO WIN!

One rival was the current Chief Justice with all the money and connections!

The other was simply popular with media and loaded with cash!

Roy Moore was big on prayer and faith, trusting GOD'S WILL!

(Wonder who was on the "Lord's Side!")

THE PEOPLE OF ALABAMA HAVE SPOKEN! After winning the Republican nomination for the Chief Justice position, Moore is now a heavy favorite to regain his former office over rival democrat.

On July 26, 2006, the premier web daily newspaper - WorldNetDaily, the operation of most excellent journalist Joseph Farah, announced that Moore would be joining the publication as a columnist.[31]

In his debut column, Moore argued that God is the "sovereign source of our law", echoing his language and reasoning used in the failed Constitution Restoration Act.[32]

Moreover, in a column dated December 13, 2006, Moore claimed that Keith Ellison of Minnesota, the first Muslim to have been elected to the United States House of Representatives in the 2006 election should be barred from sitting in Congress because in his view, a Muslim could not honestly take the oath of office.

Moore claimed that the Qur'an did not allow for religions other than Islam to exist, and added that "common sense alone dictates that in the midst of a war with Islamic terrorists we should not place someone in a position of great power who shares their doctrine".[33]

Not only do these statements conflict with the Constitution's prohibition on religious tests for public office, but they have led to critics stating that Moore advocates a "Christians only theocracy."[34]

To this logic 75% of Patriotic Americans say: AMEN!




Judge Roy Moore is Coming to Dinner by Tom Wofford is a 2004 play about two gay men who decide to marry in California and return home to Alabama to tell their families. Laced throughout the performance are quotes from Moore's concurring opinion in D.H. vs. H.H.: the 2002 child custody dispute mentioned above.

Judge Moore, though he had not seen the play, issued a statement condemning it as the "result of federal activism in our court system" and saying that same-sex marriage corrupts American society.[35]
