I just saw the Alabama Court of the Judiciary give their findings on the judicial misconduct charges against the Alabama Supreme Court Justice. It was unanimous on all counts. Moore is now the **former** Supreme Court Justice.
Good on the Alabama Court of the Judiciary.
And a hearty fuck you to Mr. Moore. (Who at this moment is already blathering on in front of the cameras. I guess his political campaign starts now. :rolleyes: )

Thank God! Church and state back at arm’s length, where they belong!

Maybe he can get himself a job in the Mideast—I understand theocracies are very popular over there.

I’m certain that this isn’t the last we’ll hear from the moron. He _can_ be re-elected.

I wonder how this will affect his nomination by Bush to the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.

Not if he’s disbarred. There are rumblings that such a proceeding may be in the works. Dunno if they’re true or not, but it would be a fitting end to his judicial career.

I’m sure he’ll just use this in his campaign for whatever position he runs for next.

Woo Hoo!
Couldn’t happen to a bigger asshole. When admitted to the Bar he promised to behave in certain ways. He has not. He is an embarrassment to the legal profession and should be disbarred.
:mad:

You’re confusing Roy Moore with Alabama’s Attorney General, William Pryor, who was nominated for a federal judgeship by Bush. Moore was never nominated for anything.

Eh, he’ll just run for a non-legal position. Possibly Congressperson.
And judging from the large number of slack-jawed supporters he has, he’d probably win. Perhaps we’ll luck out and he’ll be struck by lightning as he’s being sworn in.

Oh yeah,

Another dumbass fundy bites the dust.
Maybe there’s hope for America after all.

Alabama Attorney General Bill Pryor was the one nominated, and not Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore. Pryor agreed with placing the monument in the rotunda, but also believed that Moore should have complied with the federal order removing it.
He also is the one who filed the ethics charges against Moore.

Hey, are you discriminating against Christian fundamentalists? What if he was Muslim? Would you be so quick to say “Yay! Another towelhead bites the dust?”

Yeah! Or what if, like, he were a Jew, and instead of a courtroom it was a concentration camp, and instead of a panel disbarring him, it was an SS contingent murdering him? Would you be so quick to cheer then? huh? huh?

No, “dumbass fundy,” can be considered nondenominational.

Hm. If he were, hypothetically, a Muslim judge who placed a religious monument in a courthouse and defied an identical federal order to remove it, and was then removed from office by an ethics panel, then …
Yes, I’d be cheering his removal. Even if he were a short, Hispanic, Hindu, French-speaking, physically handicapped Communist gay black woman, I’d be cheering his removal.
Or her, in that case.

Was there a “straight up or down vote” on the judge, or did those evil democratic judges filibuster to deny Moore justice ?
Will G.W. now nominate Moore to the next vacancy on the supreme court ?
