GADSDEN, Ala. (AP) — All six judges in an Alabama county have recused themselves from presiding over the lawsuit filed by failed U.S. Senate candidate Roy Moore against some of the women who accused him of sexual misconduct.
News outlets report Etowah County’s four circuit judges and two district judges filed recusals with interim Alabama Chief Justice Lyn Stuart on Monday, a week after Moore filed a political conspiracy lawsuit.
The judges’ recusals cite two reasons. Circuit Judge David Kimberley is a member of the state Judicial Inquiry Commission that suspended Moore as Alabama chief justice in 2016, effectively removing him from the high court over his refusal to adhere to a federal court ruling permitting same-sex marriage. The other reason concerns Moore’s former position as a Sixteenth Judicial Circuit judge in Etowah County.
The third, un-cited reason is that … well, this involves Judge Roy Moore. And nobody even wants to get close to his crazy and the crazy of his dwindling number of supporters.
So where does Moore’s lawsuit go now ?
Moore is toxic waste. Stay away from it.
Well…there was a story a week or so back about a giant repository of out-of-state sewage in Alabama…
They’re going to have to bring someone in who’s never met Moore. It’s like picking a jury for the town bully, only worse.
