Saving the Ten Commandments

Oklahoma Governor defends Ten Commandments monument at state capitol         

Thursday, July 23, 2015

 

Recently, the Oklahoma Supreme Court ruled that a Ten Commandments monument at the state capitol must come down. This ruling is contrary to a U.S. Supreme Court ruling in 2005 that a Ten Commandments monument at the Texas state capitol was constitutional.

 

Oklahoma Attorney General Scott Pruitt said, "Quite simply, the Oklahoma Supreme Court got it wrong...the court completely ignored the profound historical impact of the Ten Commandments on the foundation of Western law."

 

The state attorney general is appealing the ruling, and Governor Mary Fallin has ordered the monument to remain on capitol grounds. She said in a statement, "During this process, which will involve both legal appeals and potential legislative and constitutional changes, the Ten Commandments monument will remain on the Capitol grounds."

 

This assault on Oklahoma's Christian heritage is alarming. Anti-God bullies have been fighting to remove religion from the public square. This is about religious liberty and recognizing that the Ten Commandments are the basis of all of our laws.
