McINTOSH, Ala. At a Saturday night music festival about an hour north of Alabamas gulf shore, the twangy refrain of a bluegrass song captured how seriously many religious conservatives are taking the battle over the Supreme Court nomination of Judge Brett M. Kavanaugh.
Without a firm foundation, a house will fall apart, the band sang, but they cant take the Ten Commandments out of the Bible or my heart.
For many in the crowd of about 100, the commandments and Judge Kavanaugh are paramount concerns this election season. More than a decade after Roy S. Moore was ousted as Alabamas chief justice for defying federal court orders to remove a 5,280-pound stone slab of the commandments from the state judicial building, voters will consider a constitutional amendment in November that would allow the Ten Commandments to be displayed in schools and other public property across Alabama.
The amendments supporters hope it passes not just on principle but because of the almost-guaranteed response: a legal challenge that ends up in federal courts. Those campaigning for it now say their goal is to get a case before Supreme Court, where they hope if a Justice Kavanaugh is on the bench a conservative majority will rule in favor of such displays.

To bad old Roy boy didn't try to respect the Ten Commandments instead of flashing them.
