The greatest Christian political hero of the last decade is Roy Moore. He is the first Christian that we have seen in our lifetime elected to high office who unabashedly stood for Jesus Christ, the Law of God and for the Constitution. A man that was willing to give up everything rather than disacknowledge Almighty God. (Can you think of any other Christian elected to high office who has made such a sacrifice? I can not.)

Chief Justice Moore literally gave up the world, for the sake of Christ. He gave up the highest paid job of an elected official in the State of Alabama. He allowed himself to be subjected to the censure and open ridicule of both God-haters and politicized professing Christians whose commitment to pluralism and partisan politics blinded them to the duties they owe to their Creator.

Today, Roy Moore returns to court for oral arguments. He will be appealing the decision that threw him out of office. His attorneys will be arguing (among other points) that it is wrong to establish a religious test prohibiting an elected office holder from acknowledging God. The reason for this argument is that then Attorney General Bill Pryor three times asked Chief Justice Moore under oath if he would continue to acknowledge God even if a court told him not to acknowledge God. Roy Moore said he must acknowledge God. (Note that the prosecutor never even raised the issue of the Ten Commandments. He simply wanted to know if Chief Justice Moore would continue to acknowledge God. On the basis of the Chief Justice’s commitment to God over man, he was declared “unrepentant” to the judiciary.)

I was with the Chief Justice for his trial, but found myself sitting next to Charles Campbell, assistant to Bill Pryor.

During the trial Mr. Campbell blurted out: “Roy Moore is unrepentant to His God.” I responded to Mr. Campbell, by asking how he became possessed with the ability to search the soul of Roy Moore such that he could declare the Chief Justice unrepentant to his God. Mr. Campbell a professing protestant, works for Bill Pryor, a Roman Catholic. The former declared him “unrepentant” to God, and the later declared him “unrepentant ” to the imperial judiciary.

Today, Mr. Campbell will be leading the opposition against the Chief Justice in court. May the Lord open his eyes. (To read more about this story visit my blog from Monday, December 08, 2003, — Pryor and Staff Communicate Malice and Mockery.)

The possibility for success (from a pure human perspective) is extremely low given the fact that the judges who will be hearing the case include people that Roy Moore fired in past years, and who were political opponents of the Chief Justice. Normally, such a relationship would absolutely require the judges to recuse themselves, but there is nothing normal about the vendetta which has been brought against the Chief Justice. Against all principles of judicial propriety, these judges have refused to recuse themselves. When I spoke to the Chief, his comments were simply: “We have a duty to make this argument, but the results are in God’s hands.”

The Nomination of Bill Pryor
Over the last week, we received the tragic news that the President gave Bill Pryor, the Alabama Attorney General, who both persecuted and prosecuted the Chief Justice, a recess appointment to the federal bench. Mr. Pryor is a judicial imperialist because he believes that the orders of judges who (a) legislate from the bench: (b) act beyond the scope of their jurisdiction; and (c) act unlawfully, must be obeyed as the highest law of the land, and any willful disobedience to such orders is a violation of “the rule of law.” It was this philosophy which encouraged Mr. Pryor to tell his attorneys not to enforce part of a state partial birth abortion ban because it was inconsistent with United States Supreme Court precedent. (See my article “Roy Moore to be Prosecuted for refusing to Deny His God”) Mr. Pryor received his job as Attorney General on a personal promise that he would resist an unlawful order of the federal court to remove the Ten Commandments. Ironically, he prosecuted Roy Moore for the very thing he had promised to do himself.

“The World is Better With Roy Moore Off the Bench”: Sodomites and Radical Marxist Alike Jump to Support Bill Pryor’s Work Before the Court of the Judiciary:

Despite the rancorous partisan filibuster in Washington D.C. of Mr. Pryor’s nomination for federal judge, outside the beltway he has been praised by ultra-radical leftists like Richard Cohen (of the Southern Poverty Law Center) who describes Pryor as “a friend,” and agrees with his judicial philosophy concerning the meaning of “the rule of law.”

After the trial of Chief Justice Moore, Bill Pryor, spokesman for leading homosexual activist groups and radical leftist groups like The Southern Poverty Law Center, and People United For Separation of Church and State, came forward to announce their support of the work of Bill Pryor for his ouster of Roy Moore:

The Anti-Christian Lobby: Barry W. Lynn, executive director of Americans United for Separation of Church and State (one of three groups that brought the lawsuit against Moore’s Ten Commandments display), applauded Moore’s removal. “America is a safer place with Roy Moore off the bench,” Lynn said. “After all, this is a man who said in a court decision that the state has the power to execute gay people. His repeated attempts to mix his personal religion with government power was dangerous, and I’m glad he’s no longer a judge.” The Homosexual Community: Shannon Minter, legal director for the National Center for Lesbian Rights, called Moore “a nightmare for lesbian and gay people in Alabama.” “Justice Moore has invoked his own personal religious beliefs as a justification for taking children away from lesbian and gay parents,” Minter told the Gay.com/PlanetOut.com Network. “It is frightening to have such an overtly homophobic person on the bench, and his removal is a welcome development.”
