Ten Commandments judge to run for Alabama governor

BIRMINGHAM, Alabama (Reuters) - Former Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore, who
was fired in 2003 for disobeying a federal order to remove a Ten
Commandments monument from a courthouse, said on Monday he would be a
candidate for governor of Alabama in 2006.
Moore, a fundamentalist Christian from northern Alabama who supports school
prayer and opposes gay marriage, pledged to fight against higher taxes,
tighten restrictions on illegal immigrants and improve education if elected.
"It is a crucial time to run for office when rights and liberties are being
eroded, taxes climb, the education of our children declines and morality
erodes while judges tell children they cannot pray," Moore said at a rally
in Gadsden, 63 miles northeast of Birmingham.
"I believe that God is leading me to uphold the laws in Alabama and guide
its policies," Moore said in an interview after he announced his candidacy.
Moore, 58, is attempting to wrest the state's top job from Bob Riley, a
pro-business Republican who has seen his popularity drop since 2003, when
his tax-restructuring plan was rejected by voters in the conservative state.
Riley is expected to announce his re-election bid later this week, setting
up a showdown with Moore in the June 6 primary.
Elected chief justice of the Alabama Supreme Court in 2000, Moore rose to
national prominence in 2003 when he refused to remove a Ten Commandments
display from a public area in the state judiciary building in Montgomery.
U.S. District Court Judge Myron Thompson had ruled that the 5,000-pound
(2.3-ton) stone marker, installed by Moore and his supporters in 2001,
violated the constitutional ban on government promotion of religion.
Moore contended the order was unlawful because it countermanded his
constitutional obligation to acknowledge God.
His stand triggered a national debate over the role of religion in public
life, prompting thousands of fundamentalist Christians to rally to his side
and several state legislatures to consider legislation to protect Ten
Commandments displays.
But civil libertarians accused Moore and his supporters of trying impose
their religious beliefs on others.
The standoff ended when state officials intervened and removed the display,
which now sits in a church in Gadsden.
Moore later was dismissed from his position on Alabama's high court by a
specially convened panel of mostly retired judges.

 Vabboh, ma Joe Belushi si sarebbe rivoltato nella tomba.
Nel mio piccolo io mi rivolto nella seggiola: il programma di un 
conservatore dell'Alabama - no, dico, conservatore e pure dell'Alabama! 
- assomiglia a quelli di molti partiti italiani inclusi alcuni di sinistra.

questa e' come l'affermazione della somiglianza tra la politica della
on.Turco con quella che piace a Bossi e Fini sull'immigrazione, ossia senza
che sei capace di dimostrare quanto affermi?

Sì come no. Quale partito si sarebbe detto contrario all'approvazione
dell'emendamento 2 su cui i cittadini dell'Alabama hanno votato nel
Novembre 2004? Da notare Novembre 2004, ben 50 anni dopo
Brown vs board of education of Topeka.
Ah già è vero, Moore disse che se fosse passato si rischiavano nuove tasse,
per questo si opponeva.

P.S.:Per meno di duemila voti Moore ha vinto la sua battaglia di retroguardia.
