The man who lost his job as Alabama chief justice in a Ten Commandments controversy is running for governor. Roy Moore became a hero to the Christian right when he refused to remove a monument of the Ten Commandments from the courthouse. He announced today that he'll run for governor next year. That could set up a showdown with fellow Republican Bob Riley, the incumbent governor. And it could make the Ten Commandments dispute a central campaign issue.

Well as governor of Alabama he will have every right to turn it into a backwards ass ignorant bible thumping zone of complete stupidity . . . oh well . . . wait . . Seriously though, he can screw up whatever he wants as governor within the state so long as he is not dicking with federal laws and little things like the constitution (assuming he even has enough momentum to get elected, sure a lot of completely ignorant religious zealots liked his ten commandments move, especially in Alabama, but when he started usurping federal court rulings and his own state judicial boards recommendations he also pissed off a lot of people within the state and may not have the power he things he has). When he starts encoroaching into non constitutional religious crap again federal lawsuits and my membership to AU and the ACLU will kick in.
