God and Country

Suspended Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore says he did not violate judicial ethics laws in refusing a federal court order to take a 5,300-pound granite monument to the 10 Commandments out of his courthouse. "10 Commandments" Ethics Trial to Begin [FOXNews.com]. Well, 40 years ago George Wallace stood in an Alabama schoolhouse door and refused to comply with another federal court order compelling integration. There's a history here, and it all points to these guys taking the law into their own hands. Hebrew National hot dogs can advertise that they answer to a "higher authority," but not judges in the United States of America. Unrepentant Roy Moore should take a civics lesson and learn some of the sordid history of his own state.
