: LawPunditSupreme Court lets stand order to remove Ten Commandments monument / The Christian Science Monitor - CSMonitor.com
By Andis Kaulins
"The US Supreme Court declined on Monday to take up a dispute over the placement of a Ten Commandments monument on the lawn outside a county courthouse in Oklahoma.The case is clear as a matter of law. If people would put up a monument which listed the Bill of Rights of the U.S. Constitution, for example, that would be fine, but putting up religious rules on state property - from any religion - is a violation of the Constitutional requirement that Church and State be separate. See Separation of church and state in the United States.The justices dismissed the case in a one-line order without comment.
The action lets stand a ruling by a federal appeals court and clears the way for the display to be removed from public property....
A panel of the Tenth US Circuit Court of Appeals ... ruled that the display was an endorsement of religion and thus violated the First Amendment?s prohibition on excessive church-state entanglement. "
