MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) — Judge Roy Moore said Tuesday he’s seriously considering running again for chief justice eight years after being kicked out of the job for refusing to remove a Ten Commandments monument.
Moore, 64, told The Associated Press in an exclusive interview that lots of people have encouraged him to enter the Republican primary and he expects to decide by Jan. 1.
“Definitely I can do the job. I’ve done that job and I did it well,” he said.
Moore was elected chief justice in 2000. A trial court for judges removed him in 2003 for refusing to abide by a federal judge’s order to remove the monument from public display in the state judicial building.
