Bloomfield will appeal ruling on monument
BLOOMFIELD – A federal court that ruled against a Ten Commandments monument in Bloomfield, New Mexico, has agreed to put its decision on hold until an appeals court hears the case.
A Ten Commandments monument is displayed on the lawn in front of Bloomfield’s City Hall.
On Aug. 7, a U.S. District judge in Albuquerque ruled the monument has the “principal effect of endorsing religion” in violation of the First Amendment’s Establishment Clause.
