A Ten Commandments monument on the Oklahoma Capitol grounds is a religious symbol and must be removed because it violates the state's constitutional ban on using public property to benefit a religion, the Oklahoma Supreme Court ruled Tuesday. The court said the Ten Commandments chiseled into the 6-foot-tall granite monument, which was privately funded by a Republican legislator, are "obviously religious in nature and are an integral part of the Jewish and Christian faiths." The 7-2 ruling overturns a decision by a district court judge who determined the monument could stay. It prompted calls by a handful of Republican lawmakers for impeachment of the justices who said the monument must be removed.

Who's the governor there?
Is he a Republican?
If it was me, I'd call a press conference, invite the justices of the State Supreme Court, and say, "not on my watch...."

The governor is a "she."
Mary Fallon.
If the court says take it down, it will have to be taken down.
But this is a great issue for Republicans in 2016 in Oklahoma.
