Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore's Ten
Commandments monument was walled off from
public view Thursday as a federal court
deadline passed for the marker to be out of public
sight. On Wednesday,
supporters sang and prayed outside the building as those inside were
removed from the rotunda in handcuffs when
they refused to leave voluntarily.
