Dominionist activist and disgraced former Judge Roy Moore files brief with Supreme Court on religious freedom.
MONTGOMERY, Ala., Jan. 5 /Christian Newswire/ -- Former Chief Justice Roy Moore and attorneys with the Foundation for Moral Law filed an amicus curiae ("friend-of-the-court") brief today in the U.S. Supreme Court in the Hein v. Freedom From Religion Foundation case arguing that the federal courts should stop giving liberal groups like Freedom From Religion Foundation special permission to sue the government on behalf of "taxpayers"—in this case, to stop President Bush’s promotion of faith-based initiatives. The brief also takes a bold position that Justice Clarence Thomas has supported, arguing that, unlike the Free Exercise or the Free Speech Clauses, the Establishment Clause itself does not protect an individual right and cannot be the basis for an individual lawsuit.

The brief makes an interesting read. Moore in dangerous. He and others in the dominonist movement are trying to neuter our efforts to challenge First Amendment issues in court.
