Roy’s Rock
Alabama residents are wreaking a nasty revenge on the woman who took their state’s chief justice to court over his religious monument

Aug. 22 — By stubbornly refusing a federal court order to remove the Ten Commandments monument in his courthouse, Alabama Supreme Court Chief Justice Roy Moore has been hailed by Christian fundamentalists as a man of great courage. Lesser known, but no less courageous is the woman who dared stand up to Justice Moore.

FOR HIS DEFIANCE, Moore has become a home-state hero, paving the way for a future run for a U.S. Senate seat. For her brave stand, Melinda Maddox has been run out of town. “He’s the most popular man in Alabama, and I am the least popular woman,” says Maddox, a plaintiff in the lawsuit that declared Moore’s monument unconstitutional and called it “nothing less than an obtrusive year-round religious display.”

1. Fear is the whip they wield!
Fear of retribution is the hold the Reichwing and their fundie alles have on our nation. Justice be dammed. I saw this POS Moore on TV saying judges are wrong and there is only "one rule of law" - God's! Send him to the asylum!

and Baxter.

'Just as Wallace built a political career on the disaffection of white voters, Moore is exploiting the fears of Christians who believe they are a persecuted minority whose symbols are being destroyed, when in reality the religious right rules in Alabama, and in the White House.' snip

What I'm not sure if I get; how do these 'Christians' justify murder people?
