For the second time in his career, Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore has been suspended from the bench and may face removal from office. Moore was removed from office in 2003 after refusing to follow a federal court order requiring the removal of a Ten Commandments statue from the state’s judicial building in Montgomery.

Now, more than a decade later, Moore faces similar allegations of judicial misconduct after he refused to enforce the United States’ Supreme Court’s ruling declaring that same-sex couples have a fundamental right to marry, regardless of state same-sex marriage bans.
