OK Supreme Court: Ten Commandments monument must go

The Ten Commandments monument displayed at the Oklahoma Capitol building must be taken down.

The Oklahoma Supreme Court voted 7-2 in favor of removing the monument.

They found that because it favors a specific religion, it violates the Oklahoma Constitution.

The current monument is a replacement. The first one was destroyed when a man drove into it.

The monument was a gift from State Representative Mike Ritze of Broken Arrow.

Ritze tells KRMG the fight is not over.

He says his legal team is working up a motion to reconsider.

If that doesn't work, he says, they will consider appealing the case before a higher court.
