Roy Moore To Run Again For Alabama Chief Justice

Sunshine State News today reports that former Alabama Supreme Court Chief Justice Roy Moore yesterday announced that he would enter the March Republican primary to run again for the Alabama chief justice position. At least two other Republicans are also seeking the position. Moore became well know because of his unsuccessful battle, beginning in 2001, to keep a large Ten Commandments monument in the lobby of the Alabama State Judicial Building. Moore's announcement ends speculation that he would run for the Presidency next year. Moore says he will continue to defend religion in the public square, but will not bring back the Ten Commandment monument, which now is housed at a church in Gasden, Alabama. (See prior posting.)
