Court rejects last-minute Alabama chief justice appeal
WASHINGTON (AP) --
The Supreme Court refused Wednesday to block the removal of a Ten
Commandments monument from an Alabama judicial building, rejecting a
last-minute appeal from the judge who installed the display.
The justices said they would not be drawn, at least for now, into a
dispute over whether the monument violates the Constitution's ban on
government promotion of religion.
The high court was Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore's last hope to
avoid a federal judge's midnight deadline to remove the display.
It was unclear if Moore would comply.
Other state officials have said the monument would be moved.
