COLORADO SPRINGS — “This decision is an insult to all people of faith, who are being told that the public acknowledgement of God is unconstitutional,” Dobson said. “Throughout this judicial charade, and throughout all the controversy leading up to it, Chief Justice Moore remained committed to his oath of office, to the Alabama Constitution and the U.S. Constitution, all of which include references to God. This is further proof that our federal judges are determined to excise every reference to God from the public square. In their hypocrisy, they ignore the fact that there are three depictions of the Ten Commandments and Moses in the U.S. Supreme Court building itself. Each day is opened with the phrase, ‘God save the United States and this honorable court.’ References to God abound all over Washington, yet the liberal judges choose to look past these historic acknowledgements of the Creator and beat up on the people of Alabama and its duly elected chief justice.”

Dobson said he was “extremely disappointed” with Bill Pryor’s role in the judicial debacle, saying “It appears that the attorney general is putting his own professional future ahead of what he knows as a Christian to be right and fair.... The Court of the Judiciary has confirmed Judge Thompson’s ruling — and the opinion of all judicial tyrants — that elected officials can neither publicly acknowledge God, nor proclaim the truth that the laws of this country are based on the perfect moral law of God. Who would have thought we would arrive at a day in this country when a man could be stripped of his livelihood simply for acknowledging his Creator?”
