Roy Moore

Republican Senate nominee Roy Moore, who was twice suspended as chief justice of the Alabama Supreme Court after blatantly violating the U.S. Constitution, is calling for a federal judge to be impeached for her decision blocking Donald Trump’s ban on transgender people in the military. According to Moore:

“The decision of a federal judge in the District of Columbia enjoining President Trump’s executive order on transgenderism in the military is absolutely ridiculous and is a perfect example of the outlandish doctrine of judicial supremacy whereby judges exalt themselves over the Constitution they are sworn to uphold.

Again, this is coming from someone who was twice suspended for Constitution-related offenses—installing a 10 Commandments monument in the courthouse and directing Alabama probate judges to violate the Supreme Court’s Obergefell decision. Moore went on with some outdated pseudoscientific attacks on transgender people, and then:

“Judge Kollar-Kotelly should be impeached by the House of Representatives for unlawful usurpation of power (Article II, § 4) and lack of good behavior (Article III, § 1), and referred to the Senate for a vote on removal. Not only has she placed herself above the Constitution in finding such a nonexistent right, but she has also interfered with the powers of the President as Commander in Chief of the armed forces under Article II, § 2, of the Constitution. “Unless we return to faithful obedience to the Constitution and the separation of powers set out therein, our form of government and our liberties will be in dire jeopardy. Congress should not turn a deaf ear to this flagrant usurpation of executive authority.”

Again, consider the source this is coming from. Also consider how many federal judges would have to be impeached if blocking Trump’s actions was an impeachable offense. Or maybe it’s just the ones having to do with LGBT people that Moore thinks are beyond the law somehow.
