"Well, I think that we have to continue to fight for what we believe"
About this Quote
Coming from a judge, the phrasing carries extra charge. Judges are supposed to be custodians of procedure and precedent, not commanders in a culture war. Moore’s career has repeatedly blurred that line, casting legal disputes as spiritual combat and institutional resistance as persecution. In that context, “fight” doesn’t just mean vote or litigate; it signals defiance of constraints that would normally discipline a public official’s power: court orders, ethical norms, even the idea that the law can overrule personal conviction.
The subtext is grievance dressed as virtue. If you’re already on Moore’s side, the quote validates a sense of embattled identity: you’re not losing ground, you’re holding the line. If you’re not, it’s a warning that compromise is off the table because the conflict has been upgraded from policy to belief. That’s why the sentence works: it’s emotionally adhesive, rhetorically portable, and strategically noncommittal, letting “what we believe” become whatever the audience needs it to be.
