Victory
for Ten Commandments at City Hall at Fargo,
North Dakota
|
|
A Ten Commandments monument can remain where it's stood since
1961 outside City Hall in Fargo, North Dakota, now that plaintiffs
have accepted defeat in the case.
Members of the "Red River Freethinkers," a group that promotes
atheism and agnosticism, filed suit in 2002 after Fargo's city
commission refused to remove the monument. Advertisement But a
federal judge ruled last month that it doesn't violate the
Constitution, based on Ten Commandments decisions by the U.S.
Supreme Court and Eighth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
The plaintiffs say they've decided not to appeal the judge's
ruling. Read more at:

Judge
Roy Moore's Gubernatorial Bid Highlights
Religious Liberty Theme Great article from Agape
Press.

(AgapePress) - Judge Roy Moore, former chief justice of Alabama's
Supreme Court, has announced his candidacy for governor of that
state. However, the official who was removed from office two years
ago for refusing to obey a court order to remove a Ten Commandments
monument from Alabama's judicial building says he will not make the
public display of the biblical laws a centerpiece of his campaign.
According to Moore, obeying the federal judge's order requiring
the removal of the Alabama Ten Commandments monument from public
display in the government building would have been in violation of
his oath of office, which requires acknowledgment of God. And, even
though he says he has no plans to move the granite monument back to
Montgomery now that he has announced his gubernatorial bid, he
maintains his position on his constitutional duty.
Commenting on his candidacy during a recent Cable News Network
(CNN) appearance, the Alabama leader noted, "I do support the
acknowledgment of God, and I would support and defend any person's
right to acknowledge God as the sovereign source of law, liberty, or
government simply because that is the foundation of our law, the
foundation of our country."
Such acknowledgment of God, Moore insists, is "part of the
organic law according to the United States Code Annotated," as well
as "part of every constitution in every state." Hence the
controversial judge, who claims to have widespread grassroots
support in his own state, maintains in no uncertain terms that "what
I did in Alabama by displaying a monument did not violate the First
Amendment."
