Live updates: Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore says charges are ridiculous

The trial of suspended Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore began this morning before the Court of the Judiciary in Montgomery.
The trial pits Moore and his anti-gay marriage stance versus the rule of law.
Did a Jan. 6 administrative order by Moore encourage Alabama probate judges to ignore or defy federal and U.S. Supreme Court orders declaring same-sex marriage legal?
Or was Moore simply giving a status update or advice to those judges regarding orders by the Alabama Supreme Court banning same-sex marriage licensing prior to U.S. Supreme Court's ruling making it legal nationwide?
"I think it's going to be quite an event," said Richard Cohen, president of the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC). "I know Roy Moore supporters will be there in full force and I think that those who oppose him will be there in full force."
