However, SCOTUS would gladly take a Petition

A Nation that turns from God deserves the punishment that is surely coming!

Then leave it.
The ACLU representing Muslims, atheists, queers and commies everywhere. Built on hate for decency in America they do the bidding of the hate-mongers on the left.
Figures.
(I invented the hundred years ... but you get my meaning)
"The monument must be removed because it violates a section of the Oklahoma Constitution prohibiting state property from being used to further religions, the court said."
This appears to be entirely a 10th Amendment issue. If legal majority voters in OK would allow religious displays on state property, but dont lift a finger to work with their state lawmakers to appropriately amend OKs constitution, then that is their problem.
The Ten Commandments appear in multiple locations on the U.S. Supreme Court building, they are our foundation.

Until recently moving to the Oklahoma Judicial Center (a renovated, re-purposed building) the Oklahoma Supreme Court was housed in the Oklahoma state capitol and, I believe, still has courtrooms in that building. Why shouldn’t the Ten Commandments be on the Capitol grounds?
Oklahoma state property is not being used to further religions, rather is is being used to acknowledge the foundation of our society and jurisprudence. Does the Oklahoma court reject those foundations? If so, what foundations have they substituted?
That sounds like an open and shut case. I thought everyone around here was in favor of following the constitution.
If that monument comes down in Oklahoma, there is no hope for America.
DEFY THEM!!! The state justice department reports to the administrative branch... don’t enforce. If you have the guts don’t enforce.
Decide which side you will stand with. The court and the devil or God. Pick one.
I would not want to be one of these judges when they come before God and have to explain this to Him.
I live in north central OK.
OK has been having a lot of earthquakes recently, i know... but we rarely feel them here AT ALL where I live.
Today we felt a very significant one that lasted almost half a minute. We have only felt 2-3 in the last few years. This one today was the second strongest we ever felt.
Connection? who knows... just sayin.
Sell the land that the monument currently sits on to a private group. Problem solved.
courts should not have this kind of power

I don’t see the hubub over this. Most of the Ten Commandments have become common law for civilized nations.
Oklahoma, it is time for some civil disobedience.
Get armed, guard it and MAKE them come remove it.
