Federal judge blocks law requiring Ten Commandments monument at Arkansas Capitol - Arkansas Times

A federal judge ruled Tuesday Arkansas must remove a Ten Commandments monument from state Capitol grounds, but put her order on hold so officials can appeal the decision.

U.S. District Judge Kristine Baker blocked the enforcement of the 2015 law requiring the privately-funded monument’s installation, ruling it violates the U.S. Constitution. Baker stayed her order giving the state time to appeal to the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
