Appearing on "Hannity & Colmes" Monday, Moore said: "There is a lot of talk. I've been asked many times to run, and I am seriously considering it. I'm praying about it, and I'll make my decision sometime in the fall."

He added that God had opened the door for him to run, and that he would pray about going through it.

Hannity asked: "Do you want to run? Is this something you want to do, you think?" Moore replied: "Well, it's something I think that the state needs, but the question is, is that what I'm to do? Is that what God would have me do?"

Earlier he told Alan Colmes that the real issue in the two court decisions "was about whether or not the state can acknowledge God, which is the basic issue in this case in which the court still does not address."

Noting that this court avoids the definition of the word "religion, " Judge Moore explained, "Religion is defined by our forefathers, who recognized God in higher law. And they did so for a purpose. It was because they believed that God gave us that religious liberty. In fact, as late as 1946, the United States Supreme Court - and I have the case right here - recognized that God gives us that religious liberty."

When Colmes noted that one of the court's decisions said that in historical context, it made sense to have religious representation as part of a larger display, Moore argued: "Historically, we did acknowledge God, but not just historically. The First Amendment prohibits the federal government from interfering with the state's rights to acknowledge God. And we can acknowledge God today as a sovereign over the state."
