The Southern Poverty Law Center has filed a judicial ethics complaint against Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore. The complaint stems from Moore’s criticism of a federal judge’s ruling Friday striking down Alabama’s ban on same-sex marriage. Moore called it “judicial tyranny.” Meanwhile, State Representative Patricia Todd, Alabama’s first openly gay legislator, said she would “not stand by and allow legislators to talk about ‘family values’ when they have affairs.” Alabama Media Group political commentator Kyle Whitmire sorts through the reactions as Alabama moves towards possibly becoming the 37th state to recognize same-sex marriage.
