Governor Bob Riley's Reaction to Moore Decision

Moore has chosen to be the lightning rod for the concerted effort by much of the Federal judiciary and egged on by faithless advocates to remove God and morals from our American 'rule of law'. However the law cannot be a standard absent a cultural and societal morality, most of which is based on spiritual values. Our system of law is clearly rooted in the Judeo-Christian legacy and culture. As such, God cannot be removed from that foundation and the Ten Commandments are a symbol of that morality.

There is no such thing as a valueless system of law based on amoral rationality. Call it something else, but it's not law, at least not a system I'm willing to respect.
