	CNN.com - Ten Commandments judge removed from office - Nov. 14, 2003
		Moore read comments by Alabama Attorney General Bill Pryor in 1997 that defended his display of the Ten Commandments in his courtroom when he was a state circuit court judge.
		Moore and his supporters contend the Ten Commandments are the foundation of the U.S. legal system and that forbidding the acknowledgment of the Judeo-Christian God violates the First Amendment's guarantee of free exercise of religion.
		In the late 1990s, Moore was a circuit judge in northeast Alabama when he fought a lawsuit seeking to remove a wooden plaque depicting the commandments from his courtroom.

	Roy Moore - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Roy Stuart Moore (born February 11, 1947 in Etowah County, Alabama) is a Southern Baptist American jurist, often referred to as the "Ten Commandments" judge.
		Roy Moore was elected as Chief Justice on the basis that he would acknowledge God, and his supporters regard his stand as a defense of judicial rights, the Constitution of Alabama, and an act of interposition analogous to the actions of James Madison and Thomas Jefferson in the Kentucky and Virginia Resolutions.
		Moore left the United States Army as a captain in 1974, and was admitted to the University of Alabama School of Law that same year, graduating with a Juris Doctorate degree in 1977.

	Forget Nader. Draft Moore. By Timothy Noah
		Roy Moore, the Alabama jurist whose fight to display the Ten Commandments on state property drew national attention last year, is being courted by the right-wing Constitution Party as a potential presidential candidate.
		Moore was the speaker at a dinner in Lancaster, Pa., sponsored by the Constitution Party, which has the third-largest number of registered voters in the U.S. During a question-and-answer period, Mr.
		Moore "might have provided a diverting rhetorical sideshow in a race full of verbal gaffes," she writes, "but would otherwise have been unlikely to make or break the Bush campaign's ongoing efforts to keep conservatives happily in the fold." She even makes fun of his poetry.

		Moore was the speaker at a dinner in Lancaster, Pa., sponsored by the Constitution Party, which has the third-largest number of registered voters in the U.S. and whose presidential candidate, Howard Phillips, was on 41 state ballots in 2000.
		Moore is barnstorming the country giving a speech that uses a mix of constitutional theory and biblical citation to defend his decision.
		Moore's critics say that his behavior in the monument case showed he was more interested in manufacturing a political cause--or candidacy--than in having a lawful display of religious values.

	Judge Roy Moore
		A poem composed by Roy Moore, Chief Justice of the Alabama Supreme Court, for the August 16, rally in Defense of the Public Acknowledgement of God.
		"Judge Roy Moore is a rock-solid defender of the right to acknowledge God, a foe of sodomy and abortion, and a critic of the 'legal positivism' embraced by David Souter, Anthony Kennedy, John Paul Stevens, Ruth Bader Ginsberg and Steven Breyer," said Phillips, chairman of The Conservative Caucus.
		Judge Roy Moore opened his talk with the story of "The Preacher," who was born in 1865 in Ireland and died in 1946.

		Moore’s written statement that calls gays "abhorrent" constitutes evidence that he cannot impartially perform his duties and should step down or be unseated, Nevins said.

	Roy and His Rock
		Roy Moore, the "Ten Commandments Judge," has embarked on an odyssey that is taking him and his controversial monument far beyond his home state of Alabama.
		Moore has since toured the country tirelessly, speaking about the Ten Commandments at churches and dinners, conferences and conventions, hitting thirty-one states last year alone to share the news that the federal government is threatening the American way of life.
		Moore has a remarkable gift: he has memorized dozens of multi-paragraph quotations that he is able to summon at will—most of them, like the Adams passage, from the Founding Fathers and their contemporaries.

	Roy's Resurrection
		Moore said he would continue his fight for his apparent right to violate the separation of church and state, and said he will propose legislation to Congress to "limit the jurisdiction of the lower federal courts." Moore's cause has attracted teh support of legions of conservative Christians, and thos supporters aren't fading away.
		Rather, Moore's expulsion from the court is the culmination of the most crass publicity stunt in recent memory and a disturbing reminder that, whatever the century, Americans remain vulnerable to religious demagoguery.
		But despite this grave injustice, Moore's trial drew supporters from across the state, united in their contempt for the rule of law and the separation of church and state.

	Reason: Roy Moore’s Monument: Religion has a place in the public square -- but not an exclusive one
		Maybe it was the spectacle of Moore playing the martyr before the cameras when he defied a federal court order to remove the monument.
		"Roy’s Rock," as the Alabama monument came to be known, loomed majestically alone as a symbol of Judeo-Christian supremacy -- a symbol meant, in Moore’s words, to convey the message that the Ten Commandments are the "moral foundation" of our law.
		Not that Roy Moore would know much about that: In a little-noticed ironic moment, he complained on Fox News’ Hannity and Colmes that a statue of "Venus, the Greek goddess of justice" stood unmolested in front of the federal courthouse.

		Roy Moore, ousted earlier this year as chief justice of the Alabama Supreme Court, has been compared by critics to the late Gov. George Wallace.

		Now, Moore is considering one more echo of Wallace: mounting a third-party run for president, as Wallace did with surprising success in 1968, when he won five states.

		Roy Moore began his address to sustained applause and left the platform to even more hearty applause, eventually returning to the stage to stand beside Pastors' Conference President Steve Gaines to lead an impromptu and spirited rendition of "God Bless America" in the Gaylord Entertainment Center in Nashville.
		Moore was removed as chief justice of the state's Supreme Court in November 2003 by the Alabama Court of the Judiciary for defying a federal judge's order to remove the 5,200-pound monument he had arranged to be placed in a public area in the state court building.

		In an exclusive interview with the Forward, Moore, who was removed from his post as chief justice of Alabama last year after defying a federal order directing him to remove a monument of the Ten Commandments from the rotunda of the state courthouse, criticized efforts to pass a federal marriage amendment.
		Moore, viewed by many religious conservatives as a hero, complained that an amendment would represent a misguided intrusion into legal territory historically left to the states and warned against the unintended consequences of attempting to define morality through constitutional measures.
		Moore believes in the Jesusoid version of Sharia law; according to him, the Bible is the foundation of all of our laws, whether all of us Godless liberals like it or not.
