OK Gov. Defies State Supreme Court: 10 Commandments Monument Remains
Breitbart ^ | July 7, 2015 | William Bigelow

Posted on 07/07/2015 7:19:08 PM PDT by bkopto

One governor is showing the way to stand up to anti-Judeo-Christian secularists assaulting Biblical values. On Tuesday, Oklahoma Governor Mary Fallin defied the state’s supreme court, asserting that the Ten Commandments monument stationed at the Capitol will remain despite the court’s ruling that it has to be removed.

Prompted by the ACLU, which filed a challenge on behalf of four plaintiffs, the court ruled 7-2 to overrule a lower court ruling allowing the monument to stay.

On Tuesday, Fallin continued, “Oklahoma is a state where we respect the rule of law, and we will not ignore the state courts or their decisions. However, we are also a state with three co-equal branches of government.”

Why is it the only ones with balls in the GOP are the women?

The state legislature should remove the issue from the jurisdiction of the state courts. Then the state courts have no further say in the matter.

Let the Court try to enforce their “ruling.” It is time for active resistance against this political correctness and godlessness. Enough sitting on the hands and passively taking the abuse. Enough. Enough.

More states need to do similar things...ignore the Feds.

Bozo has too little time left to overcome mass resistance.

Screw that bastard, he hates us.

Do we know which justices voted to have the monument removed? If we vote not to retain them the next time their names are on the ballot, they will be removed and the governor will appoint their replacements.

Exactly what Andrew Jackson told the SCOTUS and they did nothing.

It is hard to say if Trump is riding the same wave or causing it. Reagan showed the way to harness the working class of both parties into an effective team.

This decision was probably correct under the Oklahoma Constitution, which states that:

“No public money or property shall ever be appropriated, applied, donated, or used, directly or indirectly, for the use, benefit, or support of any sect, church, denomination, or system of religion”

The problem is not the decision or the justices who made it. The problem is the OK constitutional provision itself. Way too broad.

The military will not act against their own citizens, I don’t care what Obama and his thugs say.

The governor simply has to state that the monument is not an endorsement of religion, but simply an acknowledgment of the cultural heritage of the country. The courts may be able to interpret the law, but that doesn't mean they get to define reality. That would take it out of the legal arena, and simply make it a matter of differing opinions.
