Roy Moore suspended from Alabama Supreme Court for anti-gay marriage order

Alabama state Supreme Court chief justice Roy Moore was suspended without pay for the remainder of his term Friday for ordering the state’s probate judges to defy federal court orders on same-sex marriage. His term ends in 2019, and Chief Justice Moore, 69, will be barred by law from running again at that time because of his age. The court was unanimous in its judgment, the decision said, because of both “his disregard for binding federal law.”
