Alabama Chief Justice Tom Parker indicated on the show he was a proponent of the “Seven Mountains Mandate,” an explicitly theocratic doctrine at the heart of Christian nationalism.

Alabama Chief Justice Tom Parker, who wrote the concurring opinion in last week’s explosive Alabama Supreme Court ruling that frozen embryos have the same rights as living children, recently appeared on a show hosted by self-anointed “prophet” and QAnon conspiracy theorist.

Parker was the featured guest on “Someone You Should Know,” hosted by Johnny Enlow, a Christian nationalist influencer and devoted supporter of former President Donald Trump. Over the course of an 11-minute interview, Parker articulated a theocratic worldview at odds with a functioning, pluralistic society.

“God created government,” he told Enlow, adding that it’s “heartbreaking” that “we have let it go into the possession of others.”

        You really failed to understand my question if you think the dictionary definition is all you need.

      Well, if someone’s chosen lifestyle compels them to start quoting things like “the” bible on the job and endorsing xtian nationalism, even if they have such a powerful role in a secular government, then it’s cut and dry, isn’t it?

      This man is unable to make decisions based on the evidence put before him in a case. He instead refers to religious doctrine.
