Alabama’s chief justice: The ‘pursuit of happiness’ means following the Bible

Dayum!  Dude must be channeling Mother Teresa with as statement such as this, 

The pursuit of happiness, he continued, did not mean “two cars and four television and five homes and a lot of food.”

“It’s laws of God, for he is so intimately connected, so inseparably interwoven the laws of eternal justice with the happiness of each individual that the latter cannot be obtained but by observing the former, and if the formerly be punctually abated it cannot help but induce the latter. You can’t help but be happy if you follow God’s law and if you follow God’s law, you can’t help but be happy,” Moore explained.

He thinks that anyone living in poverty would be happy if they simply followed God's law? Sounds vaguely familiar, "The suffering of the poor is something very beautiful and the world is being very much helped by the nobility of this example of misery and suffering,"

And as I have stated numerous times, the Declaration of Independence is not the Constitution.  How the hell did he become a Chief Justice?
