Roy Moore, former Chief Justice of the Alabama Supreme Court, announced yesterday that he will once again run for the U.S. Senate seat from Alabama.
CNN, reporting on Moore's announcement, said in part:
Moore has long been a controversial figure in the state. He was twice elected as Alabama chief justice but was removed both times, for installing a giant statue of the Ten Commandments in the state judicial building and for ordering lower court judges to refuse to marry same-sex couples.
"We have every right to recognize God," Moore said. "That'll be a main factor in my race."
Senate Republicans generally hope that Moore will be defeated in the Republican primary.
