This February, Alabama's supreme court decided 9-0 that a child is better off with a violent father than a with a kind and reliable lesbian mom. As chief justice, Roy Moore wrote the opinion that overruled a lower court that had sent the kids to their mom. Here's an except from his opinion:

The common law designates homosexuality as an inherent evil, and if a person openly engages in such a practice, that fact alone would render him or her an unfit parent. Homosexual conduct is, and has been, considered abhorrent, immoral, detestable, a crime against nature, and a violation of the laws of nature and of nature's God.

i heard there was a serious attempt to remove him from the benc because of that.

But the decision was 9-0.

That was probably only part of it. He was the one who put up the Ten Commandments in his courtroom.

the other 8 justices made their decision based on entirely different criteria, according to the couple of articles i read.

Hmm. I'm curious to know what those criteria were.

Breathe...breathe.

What a MORON.

I have no earthly idea what makes people like that tick. Too bad they don't explode.

The icon says it all.

Or one could add that the opinion is "abhorrent, immoral, detestable, a crime against nature, and a violation of the laws of nature and of nature's God."

One could add that, but this one can only scream. Silently.

Or one could use this icon...

The depth of stupidity for large portions of the human race amaze me. :(

Re:

Yeah, same sentiment, but I think this icon is too cute for the topic. Susie always makes me smile, while "The Scream" doesn't.

I wonder how he feels about masturbation. My guess is that he thinks it's an inherent evil, and if a person openly engages in such a practice, that fact alone would render him or her an unfit parent.

Of course, the father's violence is *not* inherently evil.

*shudder*, what a JERK!!!!!!!!

It is a sad day indeed that we still have so many "judges" on the bench to determine "fair and impartially" what a contradiction.

Poor children that have no say in the matter.

what a mess
we've made
of the world~

The judge himself is a crime against nature.

How can someone so ignorant of "freedom of religion" be on the bench?
