http://www.optonline.net/News/Article/Feeds?CID=type=xml&channel=32&article=15996428 Now we'll see how the electorate lines up on the 10 Commandments! I thought Charles Barkley was lining up this job!
Gee, the cynic in me would suggest that perhaps he was using these 15 (smash) 10 commandments in a bit of political grandstanding meant to set up a run for governor, or higher. The non-cynic in me would say, "Christ man, you are an idiot. Listen to the cynic in you."
Well, Al hasn't been elected dogcatcher yet. I believe that Roy Moore won a statewide election to become CJ in the first place.
Moronic secular moonbat! So besides the fact that your liberal mentor told you that Judge Moore was bad, can you come up with a legitimate reason?
So how does that make him, as a Judge, bad for the Alabama Governorship? And please be specific on "the part" of the Constitution of which you speak!
He is seeking to use the executive branch of government to foist the tyranny of the majority on a vulnerable minority, contrary to the protections of the 1st amendment after he failed through the judicial process through which, ironically, he swore to God that he would uphold. How's that.
You see something in this "1st Amendment" that Judge Moore did not... please enlighten us what this is you reference; be specific on line number and verbiage to which you refer, for which Judge Moore should be taken to task for ignoring.
Chuck said he was interested but then found out the salary. I believe his exact quotation was, "I saw what the governor makes. That's like four hands of blackjack." I think Charles enjoys the life he has far too much and wouldn't be willing to make the sacrifices in lifestyle a political career would necessitate.
God is not mentioned in the Constitution; religion is twice: Article VI: ... no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States. Amendment I: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; ... There's been a lot of constituional battling over a subject that is only mentioned twice, in negative terms each time. Moore, C.J., was adjudged to have violated the first part of Amendment I, even though he was not part of Congress, without considering his rights under the second part.
Good grief. The man refused to follow the orders of a federal court on the grounds of some cockamamie theory akin to "Robert E. Lee never actually surrendered." He ended up getting kicked off the Court by his colleagues. The only really interesting thing here will be to see how the Republican party handles the fissure between the religious conservatives and the pro-business conservatives. Bear in mind, Moore is running against a Republican incumbent.
I pity your relish for that mundane in writing; energetic prose often requires you to pay attention. Good writers challenge readers; I see you are playing it safe!
There's no way anyone could have possibily predicted this... especially not with that stunt of a year or two ago.
Alan Keyes, please report to the white courtesy phone. Another GOP freak show needs your particular brand of carpetbagger legitimacy.
