(2003-11-13) -- Alabama Supreme Court Chief Justice Roy Moore today overturned this morning's State Court of the Judiciary ruling which had stripped him of his job. Mr. Moore cited the ouster ruling as precedent for his reversal of it.

"They said that I had placed myself above the law," said Mr. Moore, "and I'm here to say 'You got that right!' The State Court's decision is vacated. I'll be back in my office 8 a.m. Monday morning."

Mr. Moore had been suspended from his $170,000 per year elected office since August while the court decided what to do about his refusal to remove a 10 commandments monument from the state courthouse.
