New poll says Americans disapprove of federal court order

Only one in five Americans approve of the federal court order under which workers removed the Ten Commandments monument from the rotunda of Alabama's state judicial building Wednesday, according to a new poll.

The new CNN-USA Today-Gallup poll found 77 percent of the 1,009 Americans interviewed earlier this week disapproved of U.S. District Judge Myron Thompson's order to remove the monument.

Thompson ruled that Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore's placement of the 2.6-ton granite edifice in the state building two years ago violated the U.S. Constitution's principle of separation of religion and government.

Also, there was an article in the local newspaper here with our upcoming gobernatorial race the candidates think that the court-ordered removal was wrong.  Both the Demorcratic Governor Ronnie Musgrove and his Republican rivla Haley Barbour said Mississippi would take the Ten Commandments monument that was removed Wednesday from a public area of the Alabama Supreme Court building.  

Both candidates were quoted as saying that they would like to have the monument to display in the governor's mansion.  In fact, Governor Musgrove said he would display the monument for a week starting September 7 and he hoped other states would take turns showing it.  

I tried to find it on the local newspaper website, it was just a little article on the front page.

I was sorta hoping it would stay too.  It's really a bummer about it.  I haven't heard anything lately about where the monument ended up at or if they actually displayed it in the governor's mansion or not.

It's not everyday you will see a judge take such a strong position on an issue of this nature. Do you think he should have just moved it?

From CNN:
Ethics panel orders Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore removed from office for refusing to move Ten Commandments monument.

Since this judge is supposed to be sworn to uphold the law, I believe what he did was wrong. I think the statue should have been allowed to stay, but the proper thing for him to do, in my opinion, was obey the law and do what he was ordered. Then he could appeal that decision. The irony to me is if one of us had disobeyed an order of his Court, he would most certainly have enforced that order and fined or jailed us for disobeying.

MUST PUBLIC PLACES BE RELIGION-FREE?

Should the nation's 4,000-odd Ten Commandments displays be removed from the courthouses, civic buildings and parks where they're installed? Beyond that, must public property be stripped of all references to religion?
