"Judge" Roy Moore's real reason for today's stunt...

His brat got busted for selling dope.

(BTW, according to another news source, this is the kid's second bust.)

Ala. judge goes after same-sex marriage after son indicted

TROY, Ala. - Just as news emerged that his son pleaded not guilty to drug charges, Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore demanded the state's probate judges don't allow gay people to marry -- yet again.

One of those cosmic coincidences that just seem to follow around good folks like Judge Moore. Stand strong, Roy; God is just testing you at a very bad time to make you look like a flaming asshole.

But people in Alabama are fond of marijuana too and it shouldn't be a crime.

Judge Roy is a huge asshole.

Read up on the guy.

He got busted several months ago and much came out about his relationship with his father. He is the epitome of a southern privileged white kid.

Fuck that asshole AND his dopey, "Our laws are based on the ten commandments" douche nozzle of a father.

Just because his is chief justice of the AL supreme court doesn't mean he isn't a total asshole. I trust you agree.

If the Alabama Bar has any integrity at all, they will remove him from the bench and strip him of his license. Of course the bible hugging, two digit IQ's of Alabama would likely elect him governor

And then ran for Chief Justice of the state Supreme Court, which is, bizarrely, an elected position. And he won.

Obviously, the problem is bigger than this one piece of shit.

He then ran for that position a second time and the brilliant god-fearing residents of Alabama elected him AGAIN!

There is no doubt he is a wanker of the highest order.

He is lucky he cannot simply be removed from the bench by higher powers.

He wouldn't be the first person prosecuted by the DoJ for that crime. Though for some reason we have gotten truly wishy-washy about federal enforcement of certain crimes.
