From Doc J, MSNBC Breaking News on Judge citizen Roy Moore:

The Alabama chief justice whose refusal to obey a U.S. order to move a Ten Commandments monument fueled a national debate over the place of God in public life was stripped of his office by a state judicial panel Thursday.

“FINDING NO other viable alternatives,” the state Court of the Judiciary unanimously imposed the harshest penalty possible after a one-day trial in which Moore said his refusal was a moral and lawful acknowledgment of God. Prosecutors said Moore’s defiance, left unchecked, would harm the judicial system.

There has always been a reason why I hated this judge: he’s a religious zealot. I have been on the record on so many comments sections that he should have just keep his mouth quiet once the deicison to remove his monument was decided upon. Instead, he spouted off on a theocratic basis for the application and interpretation of Law in Alabama. In a nutshell, this position of his, in my mind has compromised his soundness as a judge, one that could rule impartially without regards to the laws of his god.

There is one other danger in the current situation. Perhaps he has turned himself exactly into what he has wanted all along: a martyr.
