AL sees that light

It seems that Supreme Court Chief Justice Moore has gone to far even for Alabama's Judicial Inquiry Commission.
The poor man just doesn't seem to understand that the legal system is not there as his playground. There are rules to follow, MR. Moore.

Alabama politics are at a low point even by the state’s own high – or low – standards: three top elected officials are embroiled in scandal or facing removal from office while a former governor serves time in federal prison on a corruption conviction.
US supreme court won't stop Alabama's first same-sex marriages

On Friday, chief justice Roy Moore was suspended from his job. He faces possible ouster over his attempts to block gay marriage following the US supreme court ruling that effectively legalized same-sex marriage nationwide.
It is familiar territory for the Republican, a Christian conservative who was removed from the same position in 2003 over a Ten Commandments monument, then easily won re-e******n later.
Other Republicans tried to remove Governor Robert Bentley by impeachment in the just-ended legislative session, over a sexually charged scandal involving a top political aide. An investigation continues. GOP House speaker Mike Hubbard, meanwhile, awaits state trial on 23 felony ethics charges.
If convicted, Hubbard could even join the ranks of the imprisoned like former governor Don Siegelman, a Democrat who was convicted on federal influence-peddling charges.
All in all, it’s some of the worst of times for Republicans who promised to clean up state government after seizing control from Democrats who dominated for generations.
Among the nation’s poorest states, Alabama is troubled by problem areas including physical and mental health; comparatively low high school graduation rates; and too many occupational deaths, according to a report by the United Health Foundation.

I am mystified. I see it as a great positive that a person who has an agenda that is anti-e******y and supporting an unAmerican stand would be suspended.
Here's hoping that his fellow bigots stay home because of Trump and he loses ;)
That is, of course, a joke. I have no idea when his next e******n is.

Occupational deaths? Well that kind of sounds like those people have jobs. At least that won't happen in Ca. Er uh unless they trip and fall on the way to cash their welfare checks.

I don't think that judges collect welfare checks.
