High Court:Public Land 10 Command.a No-no; Backs Lower Court Ruling,Rejects Case Appeal

The U.S. Supreme Court has refused to hear an appeal in a case regarding a Ten Commandments display on public property in New Mexico, thus allowing a lower court ruling against the display to stand, the Christian Post website reports today (October 17, 2017).


Yesterday, the highest court in the land issued an order in which it declined without comment to hear the appeal in "City of Bloomfield, New Mexico v. Felix."


The Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF), which was helping to represent Bloomfield, released a statement denouncing the court's refusal to hear the appeal.


"Just because we disagree with what something says, does not mean we can ban it from the public square," stated the ADF. "By allowing the Tenth Circuit decision to stand, the Supreme Court has given anti-religion advocates a license to challenge any monument [on public land] that they see and offends them."
