Panel Told to Oust Ten Commandments Judge
From Times Wire Reports
Prosecutors urged a judicial panel to oust suspended Chief Justice Roy Moore for disobeying a federal judge’s order to move his Ten Commandments monument from the state courthouse rotunda.
Moore, whose cause has rallied religious conservatives nationwide, argued he was upholding his oath of office and promises to Alabama voters when he refused to have the 5,300-pound granite monument removed.
The panel was expected to announce a decision today.
