	Former Alabama Gov. Fob James and his son oppose prosecutor of Judge Moore
		In response Governor James publicly stated that the order to remove the Commandments would not be carried out in Alabama without ‘force of arms,’ that is, without the President of the United States federalizing the national guard or otherwise taking control of the situation.
		I raised the issue with Governor James and Senator Sessions of whether Pryor would support Governor James in contempt-of-court situations if the Governor, as he had stated in his campaign and on many occasions to me personally, refused to enforce or prevented enforcement of certain federal or state court orders, especially in the church-state arena.
		To inform the Court of the Judiciary of the context for Governor James’ position during these events, which is pertinent to issues raised in the Motion For Recusal, I attach hereto as Exhibit “A” a short Brief filed in the Alabama Supreme Court by the Governor’s office in September, 1997.

	The Anniston Star - Fob James weighs in with Moore on Ten Commandments
		Former Gov. Fob James is coming to the defense of Chief Justice Roy Moore, six years after he said he would use state troopers and the National Guard to defend Moore’s display of the Ten Commandments.
		The former governor’s son, Fob James III, a lawyer, also submitted a sworn statement in which he said Pryor as attorney general represented Moore during past fights over the Ten Commandments.
		In 1997, when Moore was still a circuit judge in Etowah County, James told a church gathering he would use troopers and Guard members to stop anyone from removing a wooden Ten Commandments plaque Moore kept in his courtroom.

		Fob James tells Alabamians they can defy the federal courts and keep prayer in the public schools and the Ten Commandments hanging on a courtroom wall," NPR reported on "Morning Edition" on May 29, 1998.
		James eventually lost the election by 16 points to a career politician who ran on the single issue of a state lottery structured to support education.
		While that might overstate matters, it is clear that Fob James failed in his attempt to forge a winning political ideology in Alabama by using the rhetoric of states rights to defend a form of public Christianity.

	Among The Fiery Stones -- By Fob James III (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		First Pryor managed to convince my father (former Governor Fob James), that if the Governor would appoint him Attorney-General, Pryor would "be with” the Governor in disobeying the fraudulent U.S. Supreme Court church-state decisions that adorn our legal landscape.
		I was on a panel on the school prayer issue representing Governor James in Mobile, Alabama, in 1983, where a young woman of a non-Christian faith told how a Christian teacher had literally pushed her head down on her desk in a compulsory "prayer" when she was a child at her school.

		In performing dramatic acts of defiance against federal court orders, Fob James has shown administrative audaciousness reminiscent of Andrew Jackson and made constitutional arguments that hark back to John C. Calhoun.
		James himself played the waiting game until the final 10 minutes, raising speculation he might repeat his performance of 16 years ago, when he declined to seek a second gubernatorial term.
		But while conventional speculation had long expected James to climb back into the ring and suspected Blount would follow, the third entry would have been considered the sheerest fantasy only three days before.
