Despite the fact that the appeal of Chief Justice Moore is pending and that certain justices have been asked to recuse, Acting Chief Justice Lyn Stuart is demanding that Chief Justice Roy Moore remove all his personal items from his office by October 18, 2016. Adding further insult, Stuart states that Chief Justice Moore must be accompanied by a marshal. Stuart stated this demand in a letter sent to the Chief Justice dated October 11, 2016. In another letter with the same date, Stuart informed the Chief Justice that her staff will now open any “official looking” mail. Stuart also modified the official Alabama Supreme Court letterhead and removed Chief Justice Moore’s name.
