I think it's more than "drunk" and I think he's sharing it with the staff
I suppose it's no great surprise that Alabama Supreme Court Justice Roy Moore has taken pains to make the court system he is in charge of as nutty and belligerent and proto-fascist as he is. Here are some of the chunks of an actual letter sent by his top staffer, Administrative Office of Courts Director Win Johnson, telling Alabama Gov. Robert Bentley that "Public Officials" like him will all be going to Hell if they do not ignore the U.S. Supreme Court's marriage equality ruling. Here's how
it opens.
Jesus Christ is Lord of all. He came to save the world by His death and resurrection. That world includes you, me, the family, the civil government, all the institutions of life. He came to advance His Father's kingdom, not watch man run rampant upon the earth as if Christ had never come. As if it were the days of Noah!
It does not get better.
You cannot serve two masters; you must pick – God or Satan. [...]
Public official, what will you do? Will you stand up for the law of Alabama, for the people, for the weak and vulnerable, for the law of God? Or will you capitulate? Will you become complicit in the takeover by the wicked?
"I must follow the law," you say. Law? What law? There is no law anymore, there's just opinion. One day this, one day that. When the law becomes merely the opinion of a handful of people on the courts, there is no longer any law. There is tyranny. There is chaos. But there is no law. [...]
Don't use the Nazi war-crimes trial defense: "My superiors (or the courts) told me to do it." You're not standing for the rule of law when you capitulate to a law that defies God and exposes people to the wicked. You're just a coward making excuses! [...]
On Judgment Day, you won't stand in front of the media, the advocates of "Equality," or even the federal courts; you'll stand before the King of Kings, the Judge and Ruler over the Kings of the Earth, Jesus Christ. His law is not subject to the vote of man, and He, as the good and loving author of that law, does not exempt any nation from it. [...]
Don't acquiesce to the takeover (actually the takedown)! Use your authority and every legal angle to oppose the tyrants!
As you can see, Moore's top man on the job is ravingly insane. (The letter may also break a record for number of exclamation points in a missive between two government figures, and is only one all-caps phrase or two away from being an internet chain mail forwarded on to you by your creepiest and always two-notches-too-loud aunt.)
So that's the legal advice Alabama public officials are getting from Roy Moore's office. Deny gay marriages regardless of what the Supreme Court says or you are a Nazi complicit in this "takeover by the wicked" who is going to straight to Hell as if it were the days of Noah. There you go.
