4:36Now PlayingAlabama Judge Roy Moore has been suspended for ordering his subordinates to ignore the Supreme Court’s gay marriage ruling and refuse to issue marriage documentation to gay couples. Ben Mankiewicz, Jimmy Dore, Michael Shure, and Brett Erlich,hosts of The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
"Back in May, Judge Roy Moore, a vicious anti-same-sex marriage proponent was suspended with pay for defying the U.S. Supreme Court ruling on same-sex marriage.
Despite a ruling by a federal judge in Mobile making same-sex marriage legal in Alabama last year, and in the face of a United States Supreme Court ruling last year making its legality the law of the land, Moore instructed probate judges throughout Alabama to ignore those higher courts and to refuse to issue licenses to same-sex couples.
Today, his suspension was made permanent, without pay and he's responsible for all court costs relating to this matter.
Alabama’s Chief Justice Roy Moore is suspended from the bench without pay for the duration of his term, the Court of the Judiciary announced Friday. The decision comes after the Judicial Inquiry Commission accused Moore of directing Alabama’s probate judges to defy the federal courts when it comes to issuing same-sex marriage licenses.

Finally, a little bit of justice is meted out to a truly awful human being.”*
