faces removal from office.
On Friday evening, SPLC President Richard Cohen said that Moore has disgraced his office and should be removed.
"He is such an egomaniac and such a religious zealot that he thinks he can ignore court orders with impunity," Cohen said. "For the sake of our state, he should be kicked out of office."
This is the second time Moore has faced such charges. In 2003, the Court of the Judiciary removed Moore from office after he installed a washing machine-sized monument of the Ten Commandments in the state judicial building in Montgomery. Moore refused a federal court order to remove the monument, leading to his removal from the state's highest court.
His obstinance this time, though, is worse, Cohen said.
"This time, he has instructed every probate judge in the state to violate a court order," he said.
Reached by phone Friday evening, Moore said he was ready to fight what he called the LGBT agenda.
