Prior to that, he served as a circuit judge and as an attorney.

Moore is a [[Christian]] and a [[conservative]], best known for refusing to comply with the [[Culture War|secular agenda]] of federal [[judicial supremacy]] in regards to the display of the [[Ten Commandments]] on public ground and the issuing of "marriage licenses" to [[Homosexuality|homosexual]] couples and instead choosing to stand by Alabama state law on the matters, acts which caused him to be improperly suspended from his position twice.

Attempts by [[conservative media]] outlets to get an explanation from J.
