A federal judge has reopened a lawsuit that could allow a Ten Commandments monument to return to the Indiana Statehouse grounds.
The original monument stood at the Statehouse for more than three decades before it was vandalized and moved to Anderson.
A court blocked plans for a replacement monument in 2002, ruling it violated the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment.
Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita asked the court to revisit the case after a 2022 U.S. Supreme Court ruling changed how Establishment Clause cases are evaluated.
A federal judge has now reopened the case, giving the ACLU of Indiana an opportunity to update its challenge.

The Ten Commandments are universal rules for life no matter on;’s religious beliefs. All societies that live by them are successful. The ones that do not are failures, always!
Read our founders’ writings. Our laws are based on those Ten Commandments that the commies, progressives, politicians, and criminals want to ignore. Every criminal has ignored several of them on his or her way to prison.
