Last week, after Roy Moore, the Huge Granite Ten Commandments judge, was removed from office, AP reported that

Moore said he had consulted with his attorneys and with political and religious leaders and would make an announcement next week which he said "could alter the course of this country." He did not elaborate.

An article in Church & State, the newsletter of Americans United for Separation of Church and State, explains what might be afoot. (The article isn't online yet, unfortunately.) Last September, Moore went to Washington and met with Tom DeLay and several other Republican members of Congress. Church & State reports,

Perhaps interested in provoking another showdown, Moore proposed shortly after the meeting that his monument be transported to Washington and set up in the Capitol Building.

That wouldn't surprise me.
