  • More on Moore

    Not surprising:

    On Monday, U.S. District Judge Myron Thompson denied a request by Moore to stay the injunction that orders Moore's Ten Commandments monument removed by midnight on Wednesday.

    And the question as to what comes next is the issue. Presumably the Judge will order a $5,000/day fine on the state and Moore will likely let the state pay it--which is a crime given the fiscal state of affairs around here.

    And this is just lovely, and indicates to me this not just about the sanctity of the Ten Commandments:

    In his order Monday, Thompson wrote that Moore twice turned down chances to ask for a stay before Aug. 5.

    This is shaping up as one of the biggest examples of political grandstanding that I have seen in some time.

    So what is the political statement that he's making?

    He claims he is defending the moral foundations of the law.

    However, this is coming across to me as much about ego than anything else.

    It looks far more to me that he's upholding his particular religious foundation of the law, not the moral foundation.

    I would agree. I am just saying what he would say he is saying.

    Ah. Got it.

    Personally I think the U.S. District Judge Myron Thompson is a twit, and contributing to the erosion of America's moral.

    No wonder their are so many un-married single mothers, children at 13 yrs old are pushing out babies, and now Gays, fags are getting hitched with other fags.!!

    America and American's have lost their culture, their heritage.. which is rooted in the bible..
