CONSERVATIVES CRITICIZE MOORE: Some heavyweight Christian conservatives had some criticism for Judge Roy Moore over his refusal to have the Ten Commandments monument removed from the rotunda at the Alabama Supreme Court.

Several leading voices on the religious right -- including Christian broadcaster Pat Robertson, Southern Baptist minister Richard Land, legal strategist Jay Sekulow and Free Congress Foundation chairman Paul M. Weyrich -- have criticized Moore for undermining "the rule of law."

Other figures with a nationwide Christian following -- including Focus on the Family founder James Dobson and Coral Ridge Ministries evangelist D. James Kennedy -- have praised him for placing "God's law" above the changing judgments of human beings.

No offense Mssrs. Dobson and Kennedy, but any man who presumes to know what God would want is a man to be ignored. The last thing in the world we need are judges who refuse to follow the law. We already have judges who make up the law. Do we really need to excerbate the problem of judicial activism?
