The Southern Poverty Law Center has filed an ethics complaint against Alabama Supreme Court Chief Justice Roy Moore. Moore, a conservative jurist who already was replaced once as chief justice because he refused to remove a monument depicting the 10 Commandments from a judicial building, stated in a letter that a federal judge's decision striking down Alabama's ban on same-sex marriage could lead to the legal recognition of polyamorous or incestuous marriages. Moore also said he will continue to recognize Alabama's ban. The SPLC said Moore's statement did not conform to the canons of judicial ethics.
