In a 7-2 ruling Tuesday, the Oklahoma Supreme Court deemed a monument of the Ten Commandments on capitol grounds as unconstitutional and has ordered its removal.

The 6-foot-tall monument has been challenged multiple times before by the American Civil Liberties Union, who represented the plaintiffs in this case. The ACLU views the statue as a state-sanctioned religion because of its exclusivity to the Christian and Jewish faiths. There have also been previous attempts by other religious groups to install their own monuments, including an interactive statue of Satan which would have allowed for children to sit in Baphomet's lap. But as of now, there will be NO religious monuments on the capitol grounds.

According to the Associated Press, the majority of Oklahoma justices ruled that the Ten Commandments monument violated the state's constitution, not the U.S. Constitution, which upheld a similar ruling in Texas where the U.S. Supreme Court allowed that state's Ten Commandments statue to remain.

The Oklahoma monument was erected in 2012 through the private funds of a Republican lawmaker, Rep. Mike Ritze, who paid $10,000 for its construction. Last year the original monument was destroyed when a 29-year-old man was "told by Satan" to urinate on the statue and then run it over with his car. It was rebuilt.

Some Oklahoma Republican legislators are calling for the impeachment of the justices who voted for the monument's removal. They are saying the high court ignored the historical nature of the Commandments as foundational to Western law.
