Roy Moore: I'll Defy SCOTUS

[Stonecold]

Roy Moore, the conservative chief justice of Alabama’s Supreme Court, said Sunday that if the U.S. Supreme Court decides that same-sex couples have a constitutional right to marry, he would defy the ruling because it would alter God’s “organic law.” Under Justice Moore’s urging, many Alabama counties defied both a federal judge’s ruling throwing out the state’s gay marriage ban and the U.S. Supreme Court’s refusal to delay the beginning of same-sex marriages last Monday. The U.S. Supreme Court will hear April arguments on whether state gay marriage bans violate the Constitution’s guarantee of equal treatment under the law. A ruling is expected in June. “This power over marriage, which came from God under our organic law, is not to be redefined by the United States Supreme Court or any federal court,” Justice Moore told “Fox News Sunday.” U.S. Supreme Court rulings are considered the last word on American law.

This 'Judge' needs to brush up on his US Constitution - specifically the start of the first amendment:

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion

He seems to think he is working for a religious court rather than a US court.

It seems this is heading for big times judicial and constitutional crisis. And if this is allowed to go on, Obama will have to call for the National Guard - just as president Johnson had to do in the 60s.

This sort of obstinate stupidity boggles the mind.

This guy drank all of the 'born-again' kool-aid. He has lost his fucking mind. Either that or he is the most sly fox ever. I see a run for Governor of Alabama in his future.

He can be removed from the bench for this kind of evangelical defiance but he will be a martyr, a hero to all the homophobic bigots in Alabama and everywhere on earth. Imagine the skinheads cheering him on, the Russian's hell-bent on a 'final solution' for the 'Homosexual' problem marching through Red Square, the Pope and all his minions parading around the Vatican and the 'extremist' Muslims... let's not forget our friends the 'extremist' Muslims, beheading and hanging scores of 'non-believers'.

This guy may be an anti-hero to some but he will be a Hero/God to others.

How can the SCOTUS not chime in on this flagrant disobedience? His actions are criminal. He should be hauled into court in shackles to answer for this 'treasonous' act.

I rest my case

This has been an expression of personal opinion not necessarily based on any tenet of law or holy scripture so don't be hatin' on me for it, hehe :rofl:

He should be disbarred and charged with contempt.
