The Judiciary of Alabama has removed the Ten Commandments Judge from office. It should probably come as no surprise given the way Roy Moore started his political career. He originally made waves by putting the ten commandments up in his courtroom as a district court judge, and based on the controversy got himself elected to the Supreme Court of Alabama, where at midnight he put up another religious monument. When asked to take it down he said he would not. When told to take it down by a federal court, he essentially said he could not follow the law because it would cause him to go against his campaign promise. He then got about as bad a beat down as I could have imagined. Consider this:

His inferior justices overruled him
He was brought to trial by the ethics commission
He was removed from office because at trial he said he would continue to flaunt the laws of the United States of America.

I can tell you I think Roy Moore is now laughing himself to the bank. He came to Houston a while back and spoke at one of the super-churches (think like you see on TV) where he raised buckets of money. He has become an icon for some of the religious right, while others have pointed out that this is suspiciously similar to idolatry. Now it is widely suggested that he will run for governor or senator.

Let me make a suggestion to the people of Alabama. A man who purposefully and intentionally flaunts the laws of this nation, and subsequently is removed from office because of poor moral character should not be your representative.

I know I haven't really started writing in this yet, but I just noticed that my self selected google ads are about fantasy art. I can see that the irony I was going for was clearly lost on the search engine.
