OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Gov. Mary Fallin says a Ten Commandments monument will remain on the Capitol grounds while legislators and the state's attorney general fight an order from Oklahoma's highest court to have it removed.

Fallin released a statement Tuesday saying the monument won't be moved while Attorney General Scott Pruitt seeks a rehearing on the case and legislators seek to repeal an amendment to the state constitution.


The Oklahoma Legislature won't be back in session until February, and any amendment to the constitution would have to be submitted to a vote of the people.


Fallin says she does not intend to ignore the state courts or their decisions, but her spokesman Alex Weintz says she is giving the other two co-equal branches of government "a chance to weigh in on the issue."

The only thing I want to know is what does the reps and senators do until February? Collect a paycheck and that's it? Maybe I need to run for office. But I don't have a Problem with this. But I am a Christian too.

What can the "other two branches" do?

House and Senate leaders are pushing for a statewide vote to amend the state constition to remove the problematic part that forbids using state property or money to support religion.
They are also seeking to impeach 7 of the justices.

There's one of those online petitions fioating around to impeach her that's getting like 1000 signatures a day.

I don't see this ending cleanly, no matter what happens.

 

[Hobbes]

No, it sounds more expensive every day.

Now GlockCop is going to have to spend his remaining days before retirement high stepping around the monument in his jack boots.
