Nadler: Alabama Chief Justice Shows Callous Disregard For Constitution
Washington, DC,
August 13, 2003
Ranking Democrat of the Judiciary Subcommittee
on the Constitution Calls Chief Justice's Decision "Arrogant, Distasteful" NEW YORK, NY -- Congressman Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) today chided the Chief Justice of the Alabama Supreme Court for his complete lack of respect for the United States Constitution. Justice Roy Moore stated today that he will ignore a federal court order to remove a monument to the Ten Commandments at the Alabama state judicial building.
"I wonder if Roy Moore expects those affected by his own court rulings to ignore them, just as he has done to the federal court. Evidently, he believes that religious freedom applies only to him. Moore should spend more time doing his job instead of tying up the federal courts claiming that his personal desires are the basis of values for all Americans," said Nadler.
