In Alabama's primary yesterday, former state Chief Justice Roy Moore lost
his bid to become the Republican nominee for governor, according to the
Associated Press. Moore, famous for his attempts to keep a large Ten Commandments monument in the state's judicial building, lost to Republican Governor Bob Riley. Conceding defeat in the primary, Moore said "God's will has been done." Moore had been removed from his judicial position in 2003 when he refused to follow a federal court order to remove his 5,300 pound Decalogue monument from the building housing the state's supreme court.
