The U.S. Supreme Court has rejected Roy Moore’s push to restore an $8.2 million defamation verdict awarded to him over a 2017 Senate ad. Justices declined to hear Moore’s appeal of a lower court decision that vacated the verdict. The case centered on a television ad aired during Moore’s 2017 failed U.S. Senate bid. A jury in 2022 awarded Moore the amount but an appeals court vacated the award.

Moore is a former Alabama chief justice known for his hardline stances opposing same-sex marriage and supporting the public display of the Ten Commandments.
