A Federal Judge in deciding a lawsuit ordered him to remove the monument which was held to have been placed there to symbolically uphold the supremacy of the Judeo-Christian tradition in our legal system. Judge Moore appealed to the U. S. Supreme Court which let the removal decision stand. However, the judge still resisted. The other 8 Alabama Supreme Court justices then removed the Chief Justice and ordered the monument removed.
