George Wallace

• August 25 -- “Some Critics” = One Times Reporter
Southern-based reporter Jeffrey Gettleman follows up on the Southern Gothic saga of Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore, who was suspended from the state Supreme Court for refusing to take down a granite monument of the Ten Commandments that he’d installed in the courthouse lobby.

• August 21 -- The Return of George Wallace?
Jeffrey Gettleman files two stories on the Alabama judge who installed a Ten Commandments monument at the state Supreme Court. In his early filing he compares the judge and his supporters to Alabama’s segregationist governor George Wallace. Later he finds an anti-religious activist to make the comparison for him.

• August 13 -- Slammin’ Alabama
An editorial excoriates Alabama’s chief justice for “demagoguing about the Ten Commandments” and “ignoring the Constitution's mandates on the separation of church and state” (before comparing him to Gov. George Wallace). But there’s no “separation of church and state” mandate in the Constitution.
