He combined that w some up-for-debate discussion about scope of federal dist ct rulings - but he also questioned fed ct jurisdiction itself.

@chrisgeidner Although not presently in office, Huckabee's have been in a similar vein. -
@A_H_Goldstein Not in office. Don't count him. -
@chrisgeidner I realize, that's why I said so in my tweet. Lol. -
@A_H_Goldstein ... Yes, that is the difference between bluster and something that matters, which is why I had the qualifiers I did.

@chrisgeidner Does Moore have any power over probate judges' ministerial duties? It seems he has little influence here beyond raising noise. -

@AnthonyMKreis It seems to me that Moore is basically saying, "I don't have to do anything without a SCOTUS ruling, so keep that in mind." -
@chrisgeidner@AnthonyMKreis With that language, what makes you think he'll even find SCOTUS legit? -
@wonkinakilt@AnthonyMKreis I don't, not nec -- but there is one part where he mentions fed dist cts and fed appeals cts, but not SCOTUS.
