Summary:Roy Moore, the former Alabama chief justice who was twice removed from those duties by a judicial discipline panel after taking stands in favor of publicly displaying the Ten Commandments and against gay marriage, has had a political resurrection.Moore was twice elected chief justice of the Alabama Supreme Court and twice removed from office: first in 2003, for disobeying a federal judge's order to remove a Ten Commandments monument he had placed in the state courthouse lobby.Last year, he was permanently suspended after a disciplinary panel ruled that he had urged probate judges to defy federal court decisions on gay marriage and deny wedding licenses to same-sex couples.
