Ten Commandments Trial Underway in New Mexico

Written by Don Byrd
A trial underway in Bloomfield, New Mexico will decide the fate of a 3,000 pound Ten Commandments monument on the front lawn of city hall. Plaintiffs argue the display is an unconstitutional government endorsement of religion. The City counters by claiming the monument is private speech on what they have deemed a public forum, open to any who wish to place “historical monuments.”
