If he were standing up for the removal of the ten commandments and was removed from office for it, he'd be a hero among the same segment of society who are glad to see him gone now. I, for one, like seeing someone in public office stand up for what he believes in, regardless of what he's threatened with.

Yeah, if my grandmother had wheels she'd be a wheelbarrow.
To clarify, Corey, I'm delighted that the Court of the Judiciary did exactly what they should have to an officer of the courty who willfully disobeyed a direct order.
Regardless of how Moore's conscience spoke to him, Corey, the United States has very, very clear constitutional legislation and more than two centuries' worth of case law to support the separation of church and state.
This guy had absolutely *no* business placing the Ten Commandments in a state building, no more than he would have if it had been a portrait of Imam Hussein or a statue of Ganesh. He *should* be censured. He *ought to be* disbarred.
If Moore feels this strongly about promoting the word of God as he sees it, he ought to consider a career as a minister instead of as a public official and the accountability that goes with it. He got exactly what he deserved.

Yeah, the only problem is that now he's gotten enough publicity to run for Senator or Governor.

Huh? You're just glad to see him gone regardless of the reason?

He said he wasn't surprised, and he shouldn't be. There's consequences for your actions, believe it or not.

No, I'm delighted to see him gone from office for this *particular* reason.
