Ten Commandments Ruling Affirmed
The 11th Circuit Court of Appeals has affirmed a lower court's ruling ordering the removal of a monument to the Ten Commandments from the Alabama Supreme Court building. The monument was the size of a washing machine, made of granite and weighs 2 1/2 tons.
Both courts found that the monument violated the constitutional requirement of separation of church and state.
