Your article said: "U.S. District Judge Myron Thompson has said he may fine the state about $5,000 a day if the monument is not removed by the end of the day Wednesday. He has said it would be permissible for the monument to be moved to a less public site, such as Moore's office."
If the federal judge really wrote that Justice Roy Moore could move the 5,300-pound stone monument into his office you have to give him points for sense of humor!

Oh, you should check out the 11th Circuit opinion. In it, the Court addressed Judge Moore's objections to the trial judge viewing the monumnent, even though Moore's lawyer had urged the judge to do so, and even made arrangements for the viewing, including parking at the judicial building. The 11th noted that, since Moore had requested that the judge view the monument, any error in doing so was "not only invited error, but invited error with a parking space."
