Good luck with that.

Former Alabama Supreme Court Chief Justice and general wingnut Roy Moore is petitioning the U.S. Supreme Court to be reinstated to his previous post on the court. Moore, you may recall, refused to obey a federal court order to remove his 5,280 pound "10 commandments" propaganda monument propaganda from the Alabama state courthouse. His direct refusal (an act of contempt) is a violation of the law he had sworn to uphold, and as a result, he was removed from office by the Alabama Court of the Judiciary.

That's right. The chief justice of a court refused to acknowledge a valid court order, thus violating the law and acting in contempt. On the other hand, it is Alabama, the folks who brought you one of the stupidest laws in existence.
