No, but a federal judge ruled that under the circumstances the public display of this monument violated the US Constitution.

A federal appeals court upheld this decision and SCOTUS declined to review.

Judge Moore is legally- and honor-bound by his oath of office to obey this decision.

Citizen Roy Moore is morally entitled to engage in public disobedience, Chief Justice Roy Moore is not.
