Southern Poverty Law Center files judicial ethics complaint against Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore

Source: AL.com

The Southern Poverty Law Center has filed a judicial ethics complaint against Alabama Supreme Court Chief Justice Roy Moore because of Moore's statements he intends to uphold the state's ban on same-sex marriage.

Moore made that assertion in a letter to Gov. Robert Bentley on Tuesday.

The letter was in response to the decision by U.S. District Judge Callie V.S. "Ginny" Granade striking down Alabama's Sanctity of Marriage Amendment, which was approved by voters in 2006.

Granade issued a stay on her order that is due to expire Feb. 9.

I understand it's origins and the intentions behind it, but ultimately it's a terrible idea.

...chop it into confetti and then mix it with wood pulp. And on the resulting paper created from the wood pulp, print the first Alabama gay marriage license on it.

- That way, at least the trees will not have been sacrificed in vain........
