I don’t agree with him on every single issue but I do agree with Judge Moore, some of the critical constitutional issues. The need to restore federalism and separation of powers. The need to return to an era in which we respect the power of the sovereign states, and we don’t assume that every decision is a government decision and every government decision has to be made in Washington.
