Via the AP: Ousted Ala. Justice to Run for Governor
Between classes all day and trying to digest the Meir nomination, I had forgotten that today was M-day. I am not surprised, but I sure was hoping that he wasn’t going to run. Even the chance that he could become governor gives me the hives.
His platform? Best I can tell, this is pretty much it:
I will defend the right of every citizen of this state — including judges, coaches, teachers, city, county and state officials — to acknowledge God as the sovereign source of law, liberty and government,”
All well and good–but that isn’t the job of the Governor. In case Mr. Moore hasn’t noticed: there are a lot of churches in Alabama. I am certain that our religious liberties, and our rights to acknowledge God as we see fit, are wholly protected.
Ah well, it should provide plenty of column fodder.
