The former Alabama Justice who was kicked off the bench for breaking the law by refusing to remove his 10 Commandmants monolith is back in the news. He's going to run for Govenor of Alabama.

From CNN.com:
Roy Moore, who became a hero to the Christian right after being ousted as Alabama's chief justice for refusing to remove a monument of the Ten Commandments from the courthouse, announced Monday that he is running for governor in 2006.

Moore's candidacy could set up a showdown with Gov. Bob Riley, a fellow Republican, and turn the Ten Commandments dispute into a central campaign issue in this Bible Belt state

Let me just tell you what else Roy Moore did when he was a Justice in Alabama. In one of his ruling, written down for all of history to remember, he says that the state has the power and should exercise it to KILL gays and lesbians.
Here's the exact text of his writing, with a special thanks to the good folks at the Southern Poverty Law Center:

"The State carries the power of the sword, that is, the power to prohibit [homosexual] conduct with physical penalties, such as confinement and even execution. It must use that power to prevent the subversion of children toward this lifestyle."
-- 2002 concurrence in a custody case involving a lesbian mother

Scary stuff when a person who advocates death for gays and lesbians has reached a point that he can seriously run for governor of a state in this country in the year 2005.
