If you want to get goosebumps, take a listen (on Windows Media Player) to Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore's comments today as he announced his intention to defy the federal circuit court ruling that the Ten Commandments monument must be removed from the state's judicial building.

Moore says:
Now, once again, Judge [Myron] Thompson seeks to force his will on the people of this state, afflicting the judicial system, and threatening to drain huge amounts of public funds from the state of Alabama. But this time, this time, the object is to take away our right as a state to acknowledge God. Our state motto is "We dare defend our rights." We should never allow the threat of financial penalty to deter us from the defense of an inalienable right. Alabama will never give up its right to acknowledge God....I have no intention of removing the monument of the Ten Commandments and the moral foundation of our law.
I'm telling you, this could end up being a Very Big Deal.
