About a month ago, Alabama Supreme Court Chief Justice Roy Moore was suspended from the bench following his effort to defy federal court rulings on marriage equality. It marked an ignominious end to a controversial legal career for the right-wing jurist.

Or at least, it was supposed to. Late last week, AL.com reported late last week that Moore is ignoring requests that he leave.

Suspended Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore says he did not respond to the acting chief justice’s request to clean out his office on or before Tuesday.

Acting Chief Justice Lyn Stuart sent a letter to Moore last week asking him to clean out his personal items and turn over his keys to the state judicial building in the wake of his recent conviction by the Court of the Judiciary on judicial ethics charges.

Moore, true to form, has said he intends to ignore the acting chief justice’s request because, as he sees it, she doesn’t have any authority in the matter. And so, Moore’s holding onto his keys and keeping his stuff in the office he’s supposed to vacate.

The law's the law! Well, until it isn't...

The party of law and order.

Saw him at the gym last week, seemed to be in good spirits honestly.

But the cheques will stop on they? What, now his post is a hobby? What is this guy's problem?

 

[Volimar]

So, what? They won't send him cases and he won't have any staff but he'll just sit there in the empty office? Please charge him with contempt. Please.

Of course. I can't believe I've been hearing of this guy disregarding the law and Constitution for like 15 years and he's still around. Get your shit together, Alabama.

And to think it's the right that's always whining about "activist judges"...

Sounds like Alabama alright. The Good Ole Boys club is strong.

So wait you can get fired and charged on ethical violations and basically ignore it and continue on as though nothing happened until your term is up? Why didn't I get into Government work a long time ago!

Don't give him the satisfaction of dragging him to jail. Just change the locks overnight and burn all his shit.

This is like the opposite of the good ole boys club. They are trying to kick out the old man, and he anit leaving.

Unfortunately for Mr Moore, and fortunately for the rest of us, the law is similar to science in that it exists regardless of your lack of belief in it.

Maybe we could bring back the stockade so people can gawk at this fool.
