Truthdig: Roy Moore Wins Senate Primary in Alabama, Beating Trump's Candidate
“Roy Moore epitomizes the contemporary politics of theocratic Christian dominionism in his attacks on separation of church and state and religious freedom,” concluded Frederick Clarkson, a senior fellow at the progressive think tank Political Research Associates. “Moore favors criminalizing abortion and homosexuality. He does not respect the authority of the U.S. Supreme Court to interpret the Constitution, and the federal courts to enforce civil rights laws. His views hark back to the time of massive resistance to civil rights for African Americans, when opponents invoked the notions of nullification and interposition—which basically meant that states could ignore federal actions.”
