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.

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.

That's not the federal law. What you're confusing is law with the opinion of a justice, what one lone federal judge says is not law.

All the Ten Commandments and prayer is an acknowledgement of the Almighty God. We will not back down from that.

We've voted in a government that's rotting at the core, Appointing Godless Judges who throw reason out the door, Too soft to place a killer in a well deserved tomb, But brave enough to kill a baby before he leaves the womb.

If God gives you rights, no man and no government can take them away from you.

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