Supreme Court Refuses Alabama Judge on Ten Commandments NewsMax.com Wires Wednesday, Aug. 20, 2003 WASHINGTON – The U.S. Supreme Court refused to block an order forcing Alabama's chief justice to remove a Ten Commandments monument from the state's Judicial Building. State Chief Justice Roy Moore said in a petition to the Supreme Court that he placed the commandments monument in the rotunda of the Judicial Building in Montgomery to recognize "the moral foundation of our law." A federal judge and a federal appeals court have ruled that the monument is unconstitutional and said Moore must remove the monument by midnight Wednesday.
