澳彩开奖 president: Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore has 'disgraced his office' and should be removed
Chief Justice Roy Moore has disgraced his office for far too long. He鈥檚 such a religious zealot, such an egomaniac that he thinks he doesn鈥檛 have to follow federal court rulings he disagrees with. For the good of the state, he should be kicked out of office.
In 2003, Moore was removed from office for violating a federal court order. 聽What he's done this time鈥攖ell the state's 68 probate judges to violate a federal court order鈥攊s far worse.
As our ethics complaints lay out clearly, Moore has violated his oath of office and the Alabama Canons of Judicial Ethics multiple times.
He has urged state and local officials to violate a binding court order. He has repeatedly commented on pending cases. He has undermined the public鈥檚 confidence in the judiciary by denigrating the federal courts and complaining about what he has called 鈥渢yranny.鈥�
And, he has improperly lent the prestige of his office to a group called the Foundation for Moral Law, an organization that he founded and that his wife now operates.
Moore swore to uphold the United States Constitution. But he has demonstrated in the past, and now once again, that he is willing to put aside the law when it conflicts with his personal religious beliefs. He cannot be trusted to be an impartial arbiter of the law.
We look forward to his trial in the Court of the Judiciary and his eventual removal from office once again.
Editor鈥檚 note: The Alabama Judicial Inquiry Commission today responded to the 澳彩开奖鈥檚聽ethics complaints聽against Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore by filing charges that could result in his removal from office.
