Monday, June 27 — the Alabama Court of the Judiciary filed papers stating that members of the court have received an increasing amount of phone calls and emails from members of the public about the case against Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore (R).

“These points of contact have come primarily from individuals expressing support for Chief Justice Moore.” The Court says that they do not believe that the Chief Justice is encouraging his supporters to contact the members of the courts; but is asking that the parties in the case discourage such contact. If you would like to contact Judge J. Michael Joiner and ask him to dismiss the charges against CJ Moore, you can call his office at 334-229-0733.
