THOUSANDS TO RALLY IN SUPPORT OF JUSTICE ROY MOORE

Alabama's top jurist was suspended for upholding marriage law

Thousands of people are expected to rally in Alabama this weekend in support of Alabama Supreme Court Chief Justice Roy Moore, who was suspended by a judicial commission for his administrative order instructing judges to follow the state law and the state constitution.

The state’s laws continue to define marriage as the union of one man and one woman.

While the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled “same-sex marriage” is a constitutional right, Moore’s supporters point out that the minority in the decision argued the Constitution specifies that any issue it doesn’t mention is left to the states.

The rally for Moore is at the state Judicial Building, 300 Dexter Ave., Montgomery, Alabama, at 11 a.m. on Saturday, May 21.

The grassroots group Sanctity of Marriage Alabama said the charges on which the state Judicial Inquiry Commission suspended Moore are “politically motivated complaints” and “unfounded charges.”

“Chief Justice Moore has violated no federal court order and has done nothing wrong,” said coalition spokesman Tom Ford. “The charges levied by the J.I.C. were the result of politically motivated complaints fueled by transvestite Ambrosia Starling and organizations such as the Southern Poverty Law Center, and the Human Rights Campaign out of hatred for God and morality. We find in the charges no basis for suspension or further review. All six charges should be immediately dropped and this political travesty be brought to a halt.”

Judge Roy Moore’s moral strength and legal brilliance shine through as he tells the story of his Ten Commandments monument battle: “So Help Me God: The Ten Commandments, Judicial Tyranny, and the Battle for Religious Freedom”

The coalition explained the charges are based on Moore’s Jan. 6 administrative order “issued constitutionally within his administrative capacity as head of the judicial system and stating what were the legal and procedural realities in Alabama at that time.”

Rally organizers note that the state Supreme Court did not rescind Moore’s orders.

“The charges are prefaced by nothing short of a witch hunt, and are an attempt to paint a factual administrative order as an ethics violation,” Ford said. “The J.I.C. has capitulated to the politically correct agenda of the radical left and has essentially communicated that a conflict with their ‘personal beliefs’ about marriage, the Constitution, or the scope of judicial review can result in ethics charges against any Alabama judge. This should concern all of us.”

Rally organizers said Thursday that Kayla Moore, the wife of Roy Moore and president of the Foundation for Moral Law, and state Sen. Dick Brewbaker, R-Montgomery, will be among the speakers.

Sanctity of Marriage Alabama has “mobilized thousands of Alabama citizens to stand with God’s Word and the law of the land for marriage between one man and one woman.”

Moore’s stance has drawn widespread support, including early in the case from a left-leaning New York Times columnist.

Emily Bazelon, founder of Slate’s women’s section, a Soros media fellow and Yale graduate, in “In Sort-of-Defense of Roy Moore,” endorsed Moore’s argument that U.S. District Judge Callie Granade’s order not to enforce Alabama’s same-sex marriage ban didn’t require probate judges to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples.

In Alabama, voters by a margin of about 4-1 defined marriage as the union of one man and one woman. But Granade ordered same-sex couples have a right to marriage, as have judges in 25 other states.

Moore, however, pushed back, telling Alabama judges to follow their own state constitution and not the federal judge. He also argued it was an infringement of state sovereignty, and there was no foundation in the U.S. Constitution giving the U.S. Supreme Court the authority to redefine marriage. And, he noted, state judges have a responsibility equal to federal courts to interpret the U.S. Constitution.

At the time, Christian evangelist Franklin Graham, who heads both the relief and development group Samaritan’s Purse and the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, weighed in on the Alabama dispute.

His Facebook posting takes the dozens of orders from mostly federal judges across the country who have imposed same-sex marriage on populations that voted against the idea and puts them in perspective.

“No earthly court has jurisdiction over the infallible Word of God,” he said.

“I applaud Justice Moore and the many Alabama judges who are upholding the biblical definition of marriage between a man and a woman,” Graham said.

Former U.N. Ambassador Alan Keyes also came down on Moore’s side.

“Under his leadership, the Alabama judiciary is refusing to surrender the power of his state and its people over matters the Constitution’s 10th Amendment clearly reserves ‘to the States respectively, or to the people,'” he wrote in a WND column. “Since the U.S. was founded, the Congress and the federal courts respected the constitutionally reserved power of the people, in their respective states, conscientiously to establish and maintain civil respect for the exercise of individual right that, by reproducing and preserving human offspring, directly serves the common good of their society, and indeed of humanity itself. The people exercise their power in this regard, in and through private and voluntary associations (such as, for example, their organized religious institutions), or by force of laws enacted by their duly elected representatives in state government.”

He warned the “fiat judgments” by some judges have “the potential to destroy both our Constitution and our civil peace.”

“Those decisions fabricate and seek to impose a ‘right to marry’ on behalf of a form of human sexual activity hitherto pretty universally regarded as beyond the pale of right, or the possibility of marriage in any rightful sense of the term.”

He pointed out that the 10th Amendment doesn’t address “states rights.” Instead, he said it addresses the “powers” of the states.

“In the context of America’s understanding of justice, a constitutional argument that evokes a speciously fabricated right (such as the specious ‘right’ of homosexuals to marry) must be met by an argument that evokes fundamental and unalienable right. Because the latter is rooted in the will and power of the Creator (the ultimate authority from which the people’s authority to govern themselves is derived), it trumps any right fabricated by human will and power,” he said.

In fact, the U.S. Supreme Court had ruled only two years earlier that states have the power to define marriage.

Ford, in a commentary, pointed out that both the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals and the federal court in Kansas “stated that the Obergefell (marriage) opinion ‘only invalidated laws in Michigan, Kentucky, Ohio, and Tennessee’ and did nothing to invalidate laws in their districts. In the same vein, Obergefell did not strike down the provisions of the Alabama Constitution.”

And he noted that the laws of the federal government are “supreme” only when they are made “in pursuance” of the Constitution.

That means, he said, “Adherence to the Supremacy Clause forces us to negate any opinion from the Supreme Court that defies the Constitution by both content and jurisdiction.”

Judge Roy Moore’s moral strength and legal brilliance shine through as he tells the story of his Ten Commandments monument battle: “So Help Me God: The Ten Commandments, Judicial Tyranny, and the Battle for Religious Freedom”

More than 60 legal scholars and attorneys recently championed that idea, saying: “The court’s majority opinion eschewed reliance on the text, logic, structure, or original understanding of the Constitution, as well as the court’s own interpretative doctrines and precedents, and supplied no compelling reasoning to show why it is unjustified for the laws of the states to sustain marriage as it has been understood for millennia as the union of husband and wife.”

The complaint against Moore alleges he acted improperly in managing the state’s judiciary.

Moore, in a statement, said: “The Judicial Inquiry Commission has no authority over the administrative orders of the chief justice of Alabama or the legal injunction of the Alabama Supreme Court prohibiting probate judges from issuing same-sex marriage licenses. The JIC has chosen to listen to people like Ambrosia Starling, a professed transvestite, and other gay, lesbian and bisexual individuals, as well as organizations which support their agenda.

“We intend to fight this agenda vigorously and expect to prevail,” he said.

Complaints against Moore had been pursued by the Southern Poverty Law Center, which WND has reported has lost credibility, according to critics, because it labels people and organizations who do not agree with its social agenda as “haters.” SPLC also was cited by a convicted domestic terrorist as the source of his motivation for an attempted massacre at the headquarters of the Family Research Council.

Get the Whistleblower Magazine’s revelations about the SPLC, in its March 2015 edition of “The Hate Racket,” the complete story of how one group fools government into equating Christians and conservatives with Klansmen and Nazis – and rakes in millions doing it.

“By falsely and recklessly labeling Christian ministries as ‘hate groups,’ the SPLC is directly responsible for the first conviction of a man who intended to commit mass murder targeted against a policy organization in Washington, D.C.,” Liberty Counsel has said.
