Roy Moore Quotes

Moore, Roy. Quoted in "Judge Refuses to Remove Ten Commandments." The New York Times, 15 Feb. 1997.
The Judge, a fundamentalist Christian, unilaterally had a large granite monument of the Ten Commandments installed in the Rotunda of the Supreme Court Building. A Federal Judge in deciding a lawsuit ordered him to remove the monument which was held to have been placed there to symbolically uphold the supremacy of the Judeo-Christian tradition in our legal system.

The other 8 Alabama Supreme Court justices then removed the Chief Justice and ordered the monument removed. Moore who had been selected to office in a “Bible-Belt State,” still blocked the removal forcing a showdown with the Federal Courts and his colleagues in Alabama. Shortly thereafter, both the monument and Judge Moore were removed.
