I will be praying hard this weekend that God tells Roy not to run,

“I’ll be praying about it and considering it,” Moore said at a meeting with reporters.

Moore was ousted from his job as Alabama’s chief justice in November 2003 for refusing to follow a federal judge’s order to remove his 5,280-pound Ten Commandments monument from public display in the state judicial building. He appealed his ouster to the U.S. Supreme Court, but lost.

I can understand why the Alabama Legislative Black Caucus would be threatening a filibuster if any revisions are made to what was proposed in Amendment 2 that was rejected by Alabama citizens. But if they are going to do that, they need to propose an alternative scenario, because there is no reason to put the same language that has already been rejected back on the ballot again.

I also found the quote from John Giles enlightening:

“We support removing the racist language,” Giles said of the Christian Coalition. “That position is firm.

“The right to an education, however, is the centerpiece to lawsuits in 50 percent of the states today. Next, will there be a right to a job? No child in the 1950s or in 2004 has been denied a public education at the taxpayers’ expense,” Giles said. “It is a gift, not a right.”

At least we know where the “Christian” Coalition stands. You have no right to an education, get in the back of the line. That seems like a very “Christian” thing to believe.
