Petty: Disgraced Alabama Supreme Court justice refuses to clean out his office

Source: Associated Press

By KIM CHANDLER, Associated Press · Thursday, October 20, 2016

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) — Suspended Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore said Wednesday that he has not cleared out his courthouse office despite a request by the acting chief justice to remove his personal items.

Acting Chief Justice Lyn Stuart asked Moore to empty his office by Tuesday evening. Moore’s lawyers have asked the Alabama Supreme Court to overrule Stuart, saying the directive is premature since Moore is appealing his suspension.

“When you are suspended from office, you are not removed. We are appealing it,” Moore said Wednesday. He said he did not think Stuart had the authority to issue the directive. Moore said Wednesday that he has not received any follow-up communication from Stuart or the court. A spokesman for the court system said Stuart’s office had no comment on the matter Wednesday.

A judicial panel last month suspended Moore for the remainder of his term after finding he urged state probate judges to defy the federal courts on gay marriage.

Who cares what judges say - considering how well that's been working for you?

Taking "removed from office" to a whole 'nother level!

After all, regular people who are fired are often handed cardboard boxes with all their stuff already packed. Moore might consider himself above the law but he needs a reality check to show him the truth.

Put them outside the door in the hallway. Take a picture of it and send it to Moore and say if he doesn't come pick up his shit, before end of the day, he'll have to go through the dumpsters to find his stuff.

Put them on the curb.

Whatever.

How many times have judges ordered evicted poor people to have their stuff placed on the curb. No difference here. He can remove his shit or it should be removed for him.
