Oklahoma Governor Refuses to Remove 10 Commandments Monument From Capitol

Although the Oklahoma Supreme Court ruled last month that the state Capitol’s Ten Commandments monument must be removed from the Capitol grounds, Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin said on Tuesday the monument will remain intact.

Attorney General Scott Pruitt has requested the state Supreme Court rehear the case. Immediately after the initial court ruling last month, both Fallin and Pruitt made it clear they would request a rehearing and attempt to overturn the verdict.
