A local Christian organization recently hosted Roy Moore, the Alabama Supreme Court Chief Justice who was ousted for thumbing his nose at a federal court order. It's the same organization that, a few months ago, hosted Oliver North. I'm not sure what is their fascination with disgraced outlaws. But, it's a free country.
Anyways, the Ten Commandments tempest-in-a-teapot was a Godsend (pun sort of intended) to Moore. A brilliant self-promotional tool. Before, he was just an ordinary judge, little known outside of Alabama legal circles. Now, he's a poster boy for the pro-theocracy crowd.
He's going around the country giving speeches, which I'm sure is quite a lucrative endeavor for him. And there's even talk of him running for governor or some other high office in Alabama.
Break the law. Pretend you're a martyr for Christianity. Become a celebrity.
It's a nice racket if you can get it.

Is Moore not running for president, then?
