His suspension was based upon the filing of frivolous complaints filed by [[leftist]] hate group and [[terrorism]]-enabler the [[Southern Poverty Law Center]] and a number of other [[homosexual agenda]]-supporting groups and individuals who support the illegal imposition of same-sex "marriage" by the US Supreme Court—via the unconstitutional ''[[Obergefell v.

Michael Joiner, a criminal appeals judge and the head of the Court of the Judiciary panel that imposed the illegal suspension on Moore, were ignored by Joiner's office, clearly indicating that Joiner knew what he and the panel had done was wrong. [[Liberty Counsel]], which represents Moore in the legal proceedings over the suspension case, have accused the COJ of bias, abuse of political power and breaking the law for their actions against Moore, adding that the SPLC's attack on Moore which led to his illegal suspension was politically motivated (an accusation also leveled against the Judicial Inquiry Commission), based on nothing more that Moore's position on marriage.
