Alabama State Supreme Court Chief Justice Roy Moore is fighting a District Court order to remove a monument to the ten commandments from the rotunda of a state court building. The district judge has said he will fine the state of Alabama $5000 a day if the monument is not removed.
The other eight justices on the Alabama Supreme Court have declared their intent to move it, but Moore is still battling. The U.S. Supreme Court refuses to look at the case. Moore publicly stated that the district judge placed himself above god and the law in his decision.
Some thirty protesters, all Christian, have vowed to peacefully see that the monument is not moved.
Justice Moore has stated that this monument was a symbol of the Judeo-Christian foundation of U.S. law.
I am curious, Justice Moore: If this is not a sponsorship of one religion, then why are there only Christians protesting the removal of the monument? Where are the Muslims, Buddists, Sikhs, Wiccans, and, since it is Judeo-Christian law you proclaim, where are the Jews protesting the removal of this monument? Why are the protesters only calling for Christians to join them in the fight to retain the monument?
Justice Moore, regardless of from where you think the foundation of our law comes, our founding fathers went out of their way to insure that the process of law and government did not condone one religion over another. It is you who places yourself above the law, seemingly all the way up to god.
