Alabama Supreme Court Chief Justice Roy Moore, who was returned to the top judicial post in the state after he fought with bureaucrats over the message of the Ten Commandments, is now adding his voice to a campaign for an amendment to the U.S. Constitution that would define marriage....
He said it was no less than the U.S. Supreme Court itself which, in an earlier ruling, said, “We come nearest to illegitimacy when we deal with judge-made constitutional law with no cognizable roots in the design of the Constitution.”
Moore told WND the high court has emphasized several times the importance of marriage between a man and a woman.
In 1885, he noted, the court said ,”Family consists of and springs from the union for life of one man and one woman in the holy estate of matrimony …”
A couple years later, he said, the court said marriage of a man and a woman is the sure foundation “of all that is stable and noble.”
He pointed out that if same-sex “marriage” becomes the norm, the next steps might not be so attractive.

Chief Justice Roy Moore's petition states:
Nothing in this Constitution or in the constitution or laws of any state shall define or shall be construed to define marriage except as the union of one man and one woman, and no other union shall be recognized with the legal incidents thereof within the United States or any place subject to their jurisdiction.
