Not long ago, Michael Peroutka, President of the Institute on the Constitution, dedicated a Ten Commandments monument and the Chief Justice Roy S. Moore Field to Judge Roy Moore at the Peroutka farm in Maryland. Judge Roy Moore was removed from office as Chief Justice in Alabama when he refused to remove a Ten Commandments monument from the State Supreme Court building.
Chief Justice Moore stated:
“We put the inscription around the monument to remind judges of the basis of our laws. George Washington said “Let it simply be asked, where is the security for property, for reputation, for life, if the sense of religious obligation desert the oaths which are the instruments of investigation in our courts of justice. So help me God.” They required judges, under the judiciary act of 1789, to end their oath of office with “So help me God”, but today, judges and legislators, with the exception of present here, Don Dwyer and others, often attempt to remove God from anything with law or government. It is against the law, it is against our country, it is against our founding document. These laws make us one people. These laws are for our virtue and our morality, our behavior, one to the other, and our duties which we owe to God. It is for religious freedom that this monument stands. That government can’t tell us how to perform these duties, and how to worship this God. And if we forget this God, government starts telling us what to believe, what to think and how we can act. And when that happens it’s tyranny, and we have lost our liberty, our freedom.”
