Once on the bench, Parker routinely invoked #scripture, criticizing peers who didn’t.
“When judges don’t rule in the fear of the Lord, everything’s falling apart,”he once wrote, per a 2014 ProPublica investigation. “The whole world is coming unglued.”
He frequently heard cases that allowed him to opine on #fetuses & human #life.
“Today, the only major area in which unborn children are denied #legal protection is #abortion,” he wrote in 1 case, “& that denial is only because of… #Roe.”
#Mississippi cited that line of reasoning in its case to challenge Roe at #SCOTUS, a move his supporters say helped pave the way for Roe’s fall in 2022.
The day the #Alabama SC released its #embryo decision & Parker’s concurrent ruling, the chief justice said in an online broadcast that “God created government” & that #Christians should take it back from the “possession” of others.
The comments came during an interview w/ #QAnon supporter #JohnnyEnlow, author of “The Seven Mountain Prophecy.” Enlow describes #TomParker as a “true pioneer” of the movement, while Parker thanked Enlow for promoting the #SevenMountainMandate.
#TomParker added in the #QAnon interview that the country’s original form of govt was based on the #Bible, a common view of supporters of the #SevenMountainMandate, & that its #laws should reflect that. Scholars criticize that interpretation….
Still, Parker’s support for the movement is not new.
“The very God of Holy Scriptures, the Creator, is the source of #law, life, & liberty,” he said in 2005 on his FIRST DAY as an #Alabamajustice.
