But I have made no plans to run for any office right now.

I must acknowledge God. It says so in the Constitution of Alabama. It says so in the First Amendment of the Constitution.

I was asked three times directly in the hearing before the board of the judiciary whether or not I would continue to acknowledge God if I were to resume my position as chief justice. And I said I would.

False religions like Islam who teach that you must worship this way, are completely opposite with what our First Amendment stands for.

The basic premise of the Constitution was a separation of powers and a system of checks and balances because man was perceived as a fallen creature and would always yearn for more power.

Power's not what the Constitution was about.

If you're here tonight to support me, you shouldn't be here. This is not about me. This is about something far more important. It transcends race, it transcends politics, it transcends gender. This is about the laws of God.
