Professor Krotoszynski Weighs in on Ethics Charges Filed Against Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore

September 29, 2016

Professor Ronald Krotoszynski is quoted in The Christian Science Monitor about ethics charges filed against Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore.

“I think the big picture here is that law isn’t politics and politics isn’t the law,”  Krotoszynski said. “As a political matter, the chief justice can oppose Obergefell, argue it’s wrongly decided, and propose an amendment to the federal Constitution. But as the chief justice of Alabama, there’s no meritorious argument here.”
