Judge Moore was the guy who put a granite monument to the Ten Commandments in the rotunda of the Alabama Judicial System building and is more recently famous for defying a federal court order legalizing gay marriage in Alabama. In an interview Judge Moore stated:
“Our rights, contained in the Bill of Rights, do not come from the Constitution, they come from God.”
Actually the Bill of Rights was added to the Constitution to mollify the Anti-Federalists, and was written in large part by James Madison. The Amendments read a much better than the 10 Commandments, and the 14th Amendment applied them to the states--even Alabama.
