Haskell County Board of Commissioners , 10th Cir. 2009 was a First Amendment to the United States Constitution First Amendment case concerning the placing of a Ten Commandments monument on public property, an alleged violation of the separation of church and state . Facts The case involved the presence of a Ten Commandments monument on the Haskell County, Oklahoma Haskell County , Oklahoma Courthouse lawn. Since the lawn is public property, James Green, a local resident, felt that the monument s presence was, ipso facto , a violation of the First Amendment s separation of church and state. With the support of the American Civil Liberties Union ACLU , Green sued in 2004 to have the monument removed. 10th Circuit Finding and Aftermath The United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit ruled in Green v. Haskell County Board of Commissioners that the monument must be removed from the courthouse lawn. Federal Judge Ronald A. White allowed the monument to remain whilst the Haskell county commissioners appealed the 10th Circuit s decision, but the order for its removal became enforceable when the Supreme Court of the United States declined to hear the case on March 1, 2010. As Commissioner Kenny Short put it, It will have to go. There s no getting around that now. Citation needed date April 2010 Though the county employees tasked with preparing the monument for removal were heckled by locals, the monument was eventually moved to the lawn of the American Legion where it still rests , only a few feet away from the courthouse.
