Ten Commandments Caravan in D.C.

The "Save the Commandments Caravan" is making its case before the U.S Supreme Court. The group will hold a prayer rally in front of the high court to protest court decisions that have blocked public displays of the Ten Commandments.

The "caravan" was prompted, in part, by the Suspension of Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore. He refused to remove a monument to the Ten Commandments from the state judicial building. The monument was moved in August into a storage room in Alabama's Judicial Building despite two weeks of protests outside the building by Moore's supporters.

The group, which held demonstrations in five states, collected signatures as part of a petition drive urging the U.S Supreme Court to overturn lower court rulings banning the displays.
