DENVER (AP) - A Christian advocacy group says it will ask the U.S. Supreme Court to review a ruling that the Ten Commandments monument at Oklahoma's Haskell County courthouse is unconstitutional.
The Alliance Defense Fund announced plans to appeal after a sharply divided federal appeals court refused to reconsider the decision. On a 6-6 vote the judges let stand the ruling by a three-judge panel that the monument endorses religion. County commissioners had asked the full court to rehear the case.
ADF Senior Counsel Kevin Theriot says there's no difference between the Haskell County Ten Commandments display and one at the Texas state Capitol that the U.S. Supreme Court upheld as constitutional.
