Ex-Justice Describes Commandments Fight

Former Alabama Supreme Court Chief Justice Roy Moore acknowledges having feelings of “doubt and fear” on the night of July 31, 2001, as he sat alone in his state courthouse office awaiting delivery of a Ten Commandments monument he wanted to install in the rotunda.

In a new book, “So Help Me God,” Moore describes that night as the completion of a lifelong mission to use his position as the state’s highest judge to publicly display a symbol of his religion.

At least someone in this crazy world has an eye to what’s really important: using your political power to impose your personal religious beliefs on the general public.

I’m tired of all the naysayers preaching that judges should be concentrating on trivial things like, say, justice. What good is a judicial system built on equal treatment under the law without a little reminder that, though everyone is technically “equal,” Christians are just a little bit superior.

I’m looking forward to my impending appointment to the federal court, so I can fulfill my lifelong dream of using my power to publicly display a 5 ton, anatomically correct, granite sculpture of my puckered asshole.
