There is no law saying that there cannot be a monument to the Ten Commandments, it was a judge's order. That is not law. In fact, according to the Alabama State Constitution he did what was required. He obeyed the law of the state.

Where does the Alabama State Constitution state that the Chief Justice is required to place the Ten Commandments in the courthouse?

Further, a judge's order is indeed law. It is not legislatively passed law, but it has the full force of the state behind it, which makes it law.
