Thou shalt read this
Interesting point in this article on Judge Moore, the Alabama Chief Justice who loves the Ten Commandments so much that he has created a beautiful graven image of them and is demanding that it be given the respect due to God's holy word*:
Alabama Attorney General Bill Pryor, one of the few state officials providing some adult supervision on the matter, is unpersuaded. "The rule of law means that no person, including the chief justice of Alabama, is above the law," he said last week. "We all must obey the orders of these courts even when we disagree with those orders." By the way, Mr. Pryor, a nominee for a federal judgeship, is currently being blocked by Senate Democrats who claim he can't be trusted to uphold the law on the federal bench. His willingness to stand against Justice Moore in the face of public anger gives the lie to that claim.
*Yes, that's sarcasm. Judge Moore is a power-mad politician who has set up a 5000-lb granite ego sink as a monument to his expert ability to recognize a hot-button issue when he sees it. It's truly sad that so many people think it's fun to ignore these laws that God has written on our hearts. But Judge Moore is doing nothing to help that situation, and much to hurt it. Shame.
