Title: Poll: Roy Moore zooms to commanding lead in Alabama’s Senate race

In the special election for Alabama’s U.S. Senate seat, Judge Roy Moore is the clear front-runner.

Moore holds a commanding 10-point lead over incumbent Senator Luther Strange, according to a poll conducted by potential primary challenger Rep. Mo Brooks, R-Ala. Roy Moore leads the race with 30 percent, followed by Strange at 20 percent, and Rep. Brooks in “the low double-digits.”

Strange was appointed to Attorney General Jeff Sessions’ former Senate seat by disgraced former Gov. Robert Bentley before he resigned last month. Many see the appointment as a corrupt deal struck between a governor, Bentley, mired in scandal and the state attorney general, Strange, prosecuting him.

Gov. Kay Ivey, Bentley’s successor, called for an early special primary election on Aug. 18 followed by a runoff on September 26 and a general election on December 12.

Moore’s candidacy in Alabama is strong. Many Alabamians see Moore – the former chief justice of the Alabama Supreme Court – as a martyr for the social conservative cause after he was removed from office for directing state probate judges not to issue marriage licenses to homosexual couples.

"I have done my duty under the laws of this state to stand for the undeniable truth that God ordained marriage as the union of one man and one woman," Moore said during the press conference in front of the state capitol after the Alabama Supreme Court upheld the decision to remove Moore from the court.

The Washington establishment is backing Senator Strange for reelection. McConnell allies in the National Republican Senatorial Committee are threatening potential primary challengers to Strange to dissuade them from running.

"We have made it very clear from the beginning that Sen. Luther Strange would be treated as an incumbent," NRSC spokeswoman Katie Martin reportedly told Politico. "It has also been a clear policy that we will not use vendors who work against our incumbents."

Despite the NRSC’s threats, the polling shows that there is a race in Alabama, and the conservative challenger has a clear shot at winning.

Moore:

"I have done my duty under the laws of this state to stand for the undeniable truth that God ordained marriage as the union of one man and one woman," he said. "I know and I think you do, too, that the foundations of the fabric of our country are being shaken tremendously.

"Our families are being crippled by divorce and abortion. Our sacred institution of marriage has been destroyed by the Supreme Court. Our rights and liberties are in jeopardy.

"What I did, I did for the people of Alabama. I stood up for the Constitution. I stood up for God. The great majority of the people of this state believe in God."

That’s not being weird!

So if Moore goes to the Senate and offers a bill to ban divorce (and re-marriage), you would support that?

Some of these things only sound good until you actually follow them to their inevitable conclusion.

I think Moore is a phony and a hypocrite who has spent quite a number of years grandstanding himself in the public eye. And I think he is about to be rewarded for it by the voters of Alabama.

OTOH, Luther Strange is a creature of the Swamp Things in the Beltway (known as the GOPe) and got his position by blackmailing a corrupt governor a month before Governor Naughty Pants got run out of orifice.

So Moore vs. Strange is a choice but it's still a bad choice IMO.

You think that's flaky? How about those who put dead bodies in the Capitol rotunda? Weird.

By the way, this "religious" monument was also covered with quotes from the Declaration of Independence, the national anthem, and various Founding Fathers.

If the mere presence of the Ten Commandments makes this a "religious monument", then I assume you'd describe Elizabeth Warren as a Cherokee Indian.

Moore ain't all that honorable because he wants to use the power of the government to stuff his religion down everyone's throat.

If he had his way,the US would be a Christian version of Saudi Arabia.

You up for that,Stone?

Just as as federal district court found printing “In God We Trust” on legal tender does not violate the Constitution….I don’t feel that Moore placing the Ten Commandments in the court building violated the Constitution.

And just a “in God We Trust” appears on the facade of the U.S. Supreme Court building, I don’t feel that Moore placing the Ten Commandments in the court building violated the Constitution.

“The National Motto, ‘In God We Trust,’ appears in the the House and Senate Chambers and yet Moore could not place a monument of the Ten Commandments in the Alabama Supreme Court building.

Nope.

If Moore is so dead-set against divorce, why didn't he find a case to rule against divorce entirely in the state of Alabama? He certainly could have. But he didn't.

That's called hypocrisy.

He just says these things. Actually do something about it? Not much.

I wouldn't object to Moore placing his wooden wall plaque on his own courtroom wall. That's how all this began, back in the Nineties (as I recall it).

It's when he became chief justice and unilaterally placed a 2.5-ton granite monument in the rotunda of Alabama's state judicial building that he clearly crossed the line.

Monuments on state property are the business of the legislature, not a judge who sneaks it in under the cover of night, not even knowing whether the building's floor could support such a heavy stone piece. Then his allies at Coral Ridge Ministries (who funded it) took video of this illegal installation and sold DVDs to make money off it. Kinda like how DeMille got the F.O.E. to fund all those 10 commandments plaques and monuments around the country as a promotional for his movie.

This is the kind of thing that caused Roy Moore to be removed as chief justice. After he grandstanded his way back on to the state court in 2013, his pay was suspended in 2016. And then he resigned from the court last month, facing a half-dozen ethics charges (which he had already lost) so he could run for Senate.

I'm surprised Moore still has a law license. I expect the GOPe will try to find a way to go after that as well, probably during the upcoming campaign.

I still maintain that there should be a box to mark on every ballot that has "none of the above",and that every time "None of the above" wins,there should immediately be another election with all new candidates (mandatory) that is paid for in full by the part coffers to the parties that backed a candidate in the first election. NO PUBLIC MONEY.

That would quickly guarantee better candidates than "loser number 1" and "loser number 2'.

I think many of us believe something like that would work.

But it fails to account for the perversity of voters and the stubbornness of candidates.

It would be nice if it really were that simple. But it isn't. The voters would screw up a system like that too.

Let's imagine there are only two strong "qualified" candidates in a race. Each one gets 32% and 34% of the voters give their none-of-the-above votes. Now you've disqualified the only two candidates that everyone knows. It's entirely possible that either candidate with the 32% would be preferred by the other party over any other new second-round candidates. But you would have prevented them from running again.

The courts wouldn't allow it anyway. They'd say you were limiting freedom of speech by the candidates and inhibiting their qualifications for office (by imposing requirements for election to office that the Constitution itself does not, much as they said whenever some state tries to impose term limits for federal offices).
