Frankly, growing up in NC, I was taught all the stereotypes - that Alabama is a deeply conservative, fundamentalist Christian state - and living here has proven that true to some extent - which is what makes it so surprising that this whole thing even happened. Oh but wait this was the ruling of the FEDERAL court, no wonder, those big-government atheists have a LONG HISTORY of sticking their long arm into Alabama and messing things up against the will of the people!
For his disregard for the legal system, Moore deserved not only to be removed from office, but disbarred. The bench was never meant to be a bully pulpit for one's pet agenda, no matter how noble or sacred he may deem them. ALL lawyers are expected to foster respect for the system they serve, and flouting valid Federal court orders runs contrary to that canon.
I don't expect partisan non-lawyers to appreciate that, but it is part of what's meant when we say our profession is "self-governing".

Bit by bit, this nation is selling its soul to the devil.
