MONTGOMERY - Chief Justice Roy Moore told a federal judge Monday that the U.S. District Court has no authority to order the Ten Commandments monument removed from the state judicial building.


Moore's lawyers filed a two-paragraph statement with U.S. District Judge Myron Thompson against any new orders to remove the monument or lifting the stay the judge issued on Dec. 23.

"The federal district court has no jurisdiction, power or authority to remove this public acknowledgment of God, which is authorized in the constitution of the state," a spokesman for Moore said.
