Judge Moore was removed from his own office on the Alabama Supreme Court itself (or however that procedure works) 2 times. This is hardly impeccable service as one said the other day.
Odd, if one's job is to protect the laws/constitution of the state and that runs one against the liberal establishment to the point of being wrongfully removed from office. How does that tarnish one's service. He was elected to do a job, it cost him his job, but what job he did was impeccable to everyone except liberals who wanted a lacky.
Not one real conservative had a problem with Moore's job performance. Dear Tom, It was impeccable, and even some liberal lawyers agreed. The last time Roy was removed from office even the liberal NY Times agreed with him that the liberal judge on gay marriage didn't have the authority to make her rulling state wide.
Roy Moore is right that on its face, Granade’s order doesn’t require state probate judges all over Alabama — who weren’t named in the case Granade heard — to issue marriage licenses. Granade merely instructed Alabama’s attorney general not to enforce the state’s same-sex-marriage ban. That means a probate judge could go along with her decision

Roy gets removed because they know his objections are solid, and they don't want it to get to court, so they remove him (last time it wasn't even a correct removal, that required an unanimous vote which they didn't get) before he has a chance to challenge their rulings on constitutional ground.
or however that procedure works
The canon group that has the power to judge judges is an interesting political creature in itself. It basically appoints people it wants to judge judges. Given the gene pool is mostly liberal lawyers, it gets packed with liberals and thus is not a true representation of the general public. Now the governor gets to appoint ONE member in the group, at least when you have a conservative governor you get ONE sane voice in the procedures. But all in all, judges know they have to do a dog and pony show for liberals if they want to keep their jobs. Roy has twice found this out, been removed from office twice now both times before he had the chance to prove in court his rulings were constitutional.
