...In Their Continued Efforts to Persecute Chief Justice Moore

During the trial of Chief Justice Roy Moore, I sat next to Alabama Assistant Attorney General Charles Brinsfield Campbell, one of the men responsible for orchestrating the trial of Chief Justice Roy Moore.

Mr. Campbell and I sat and listened to his boss, Bill Pryor, three times ask the Chief Justice if he would “continue to acknowledge God” even if he was ordered by an “official” not to do so. Three times we heard the Chief Justice say he would never deny God. We further heard the Chief Justice explain that his job and the very court systems required the acknowledgement of God.

For his refusal to deny God, Bill Pryor declared the Chief to be “unrepentant” to the imperial judiciary.

But for Mr. Campbell, such a declaration was not sufficient. Mr. Campbell declared the Chief Justice to be in a state of open sin before Jesus Christ. Here is what happened:

During Bill Pryor’s closing comments, Campbell, a professing Christian, with malice and anger exclaimed to me “Roy Moore is unrepentant to his God!”

I responded: “Sir, how remarkable that you can look into the heart of the Chief Justice and know where he stands before his God.”

After the trial I shook Mr. Campbell’s hand, and tried to extend Christian charity by exclaiming that I had no hard feelings against him for his comments. He tried to backpedal on his declaration of spiritual unrepentance, but the force of his words continued to ring in the ears of those of us who actually heard this professing Christian (who helped to orchestrate the persecution of Chief Justice Moore) attempt to judge the very soul of a man who had just refused to deny God.

Last week Mr. Campbell and the Attorney General brought the charade of claiming a Christian high ground for their open persecution of the Chief Justice to another nadir when they issued a statement openly mocking Chief Justice Roy Moore and categorizing Roy Moore with Ted Kennedy.

In another attempt to mock the Chief Justice for his uncompressing stand for the Lord, Attorney General Bill Pryor’s office has sent out an invitation for a Media Bagel Breakfast to be held in the Attorney General’s office on December 10. The fax states in big, bold type that Roy Moore and Ted Kennedy will attend the breakfast. However, in microscopic print between the two names, it actually says “they are not expected.” There is an asterisk after “Attend” which states: “When dealing with lawyers always read the fine print.”

The Chief Justice’s spokeswoman said: “This is just another example of the Attorney General mocking Chief Justice Roy S. Moore, who was elected by the people of the state of Alabama. It is an example of his arrogance and disrespect for the elected officials of this state and nation.”
