Judge Roy Moore<br />
Roy Stewart Moore (born February 11, 1947) is an American politician and jurist who<br />
served as the 27th and 31st chief justice of the Supreme Court of Alabama. He was<br />
the Republican nominee in the 2017 United States Senate special election in<br />
Alabama to fill the seat vacated by Jeff Sessions, but lost to Democratic candidate Doug<br />
Jones. He is also a candidate in the 2020 Senate election.<br />
Moore attended West Point and served as a company commander in the Military Police<br />
Corps during the Vietnam War. After graduating from the University of Alabama Law<br />
School, he joined the Etowah County district attorney's office, serving as an assistant<br />
district attorney from 1977 to 1982. In 1992 he was appointed as a circuit judge by<br />
Governor Guy Hunt to fill a vacancy, and elected to the position at the end of the term.<br />
In 2001 Moore was elected to the position of chief justice of the Supreme Court of<br />
Alabama. Moore was removed from his position in November 2003 by the Alabama<br />
Court of the Judiciary for refusing a federal court's order to remove a marble monument<br />
of the Ten Commandments that he had placed in the rotunda of the Alabama <strong>Judicial</strong><br />
Building.<br />
Moore sought the Republican nomination for the governorship of Alabama<br />
in 2006 and 2010, but lost in the primaries. Moore was again elected chief justice in<br />
2013, but was suspended in May 2016, for defying a U.S. Supreme Court decision<br />
