Thou shalt not defy the law

Alabama's Chief Justice, Roy Moore, was removed from office on Thursday for
refusing to obey a federal court order to move his monument depicting the
Ten Commandments from the rotunda of the state courthouse.

The Court of the Judiciary unanimously imposed the harshest penalty possible
after a one-day trial in which Moore said his refusal was a moral and lawful
acknowledgment of God. Prosecutors said Moore's defiance, left unchecked,
would harm the judicial system.

Speaking immediately after Thursday's decision, a defiant Moore told
supporters he had only acknowledged God ,as is done in other official
procedures and documents.
