Roy Moore Will Run For AL Governor

Church-state issues are certain to be at the center of the Alabama Republican gubernatorial primary on June 6 next year. The Birmingham News reports that former Alabama Supreme Court Chief Justice Roy Moore announced on Monday before a cheering home town crowd that he is running for Governor in 2006. (See prior posting.) Moore was removed from office as Chief Justice after he refused to take down a 5,300 pound monument of the Ten Commandments from the Alabama Supreme Court building's rotunda.
