This bigot again?

Judge Roy Moore of Alabama’s Supreme Court has been suspended from his job. Again. The first time was way back in 2003 for building a humongous monument with the Ten Commandments inscribed on it and placing it on the state’s judicial building, in clear contravention of the Constitution’s edict separating church and state.

MONUMENT--The Ten Commandments monument installed by Roy Moore and then removed from the ALabama Supreme Court building was installed today at Crosspoint Community Church in Gadsden Ala. Monument movers from Clark Monuments of Birmingham placed the monument in place in front of 150 Coosa Christian school students around 9:45 a.m. Friday. A prayer led by Pastor Phillip Ellen followed the installation with the school students...Roy Moore holds official installation ceremony at Crosspoint Community Church..... Staff Photo/Joe Songer.

Now he

faces six charges of violating judicial ethics, all stemming from a Jan. 6 order in which he told state probate judges that they have a “ministerial duty” to abide by state law limiting marriage to heterosexual couples. That order defies not only the high court’s ruling on Obergefell v. Hodges, but also two other court decisions, the commission found.

That would be the Alabama Judicial Inquiry Commission. It isn’t immediately clear whether that’s a permanent body or one that’s convened only when serious questions of judicial ethics and behavior are raised.

He’s only 69. He can surely find work other than sticking his bigoted beak into the laws of this nation and interpreting them in a way more suited for 1816 than 2016.
