It doesn't really matter if Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore is removed from office or not. It may even be a boon to his bigger political ambitions if he is found guilty on ethics charges, for defying the federal courts on the same sex marriage ruling.

Nothing plays better in Alabama than giving a finger or thumbing a nose to the feds.

When Moore walks into his ethics trial on Wednesday, he may as well be climbing into a cannon and launching himself into the 2018 election.

This goober desperately wants to be governor. And this trial will be his platform.
