Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore Supporters Rally for Ten Commandments Monument5-1-03. Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore and his 350 devoted supporters marched to the site of where they desire to keep a 5,300-pound granite Ten Commandments monument in the state Judicial Building. One of the organizers called it a “crusade to reclaim America for Jesus Christ.” Their weapons of war: the Bible and the Ten Commandments. Moore, who has appealed to the U.S. 11th Circuit Court of Appeals, believes the commandments are representative of the moral foundation of American law. He had the monument installed two years ago. Three Alabama attorneys claimed the monument violated their constitutional rights. Filing a lawsuit on their behalf were the Southern Poverty Law Center, Americans United for Separation of Church and State, and the American Civil Liberties Union. According to a federal judge, the Ten Commandments monument promotes religion in a government building and violates the constitutional separation of church and state. Busloads of protestors came from Alabama, Florida, and Georgia. One of the demonstrators, a 63-year old retiree and Prospect Baptist church member, says, “I believe that what this country was founded on was God and I believe we need to keep it that way.” Catherine Hall, another demonstrator, reasons that the monument has a right to be there. “It is God’s will for it to remain there because if we take it out of there then we have got to get the sculpter of Moses holding the ten commandments out of the supreme court building in Washington, D.C.”
