To: Alabama Governor Riley
Reappoint Chief Justice Judge Roy Moore
Petition to reappoint Judge Roy Moore to be
Alabama Supreme Court Chief Justice
Governor Riley, as you have said many times this
year, "We need to do the right thing". "We need to do the Christian
thing". After the unjust ruling of Federal Judge Myron Thompson, and the
liberal inquisition of the Court of Judiciary, we need Judge Roy Moore
back on the Alabama Supreme Court. We know Judge Moore is a proven man of
integrity and will do a good job. The voters of Alabama have also chosen
Judge Moore to be our Chief Justice.
We, the under signed, request that you, Governor Riley, do the right thing
and reappoint Judge Moore to the current vacancy of the Chief Justice of
the Alabama Supreme Court.
Sincerely
The undersigned

Some Legal Thoughts from an Alabama Attorney
1. Governor Riley fills vacancies on the Supreme Court and could
simply reappoint Judge Moore. Any lawyer can serve provided he is not
disbarred, his license is not currently suspended, or he has not been
convicted of a crime (which this doesn't not involve).
Riley can appoint Roy Moore back to the Supreme Court Chief
Justice position if he wants to. Gov Riley will soon make an appoint to
fill the vacancy.
2. Caveat: The powers of the Judicial Inquiry Commission are very
vague. The penalties they may impose are also vaguely worded. If they
terminate Moore, with nothing more, then Riley can appoint Moore to fill
the vacancy. Uncharted waters are reached if they both terminate Moore
and try to bar him from holding a Supreme Court position for some future
period of time. The JIC statute doesn't give them this penalty power but
it also doesn't specifically deny them this penalty power.

Moore!
