AP reports,

A federal judge agreed Friday that the state of Alabama is in compliance with his order that suspended Supreme Court Chief Justice Roy Moore’s Ten Commandments monument be moved from the rotunda of the Alabama Judicial Building.

Attorney General Bill Pryor told U.S. District Judge Myron Thompson in a conference call Friday morning that the monument was moved Wednesday and is now inside a locked storage room off of the employee lunchroom in an area behind the elevator on the building’s first floor, said Richard Cohen, attorney for plaintiffs who sued to have the monument removed.

“We told the court that we had verified the monument was moved and are satisfied the state is in compliance with the court order,” said Cohen of the Southern Poverty Law Center.

Cohen said the judge told attorneys that he would issue an order later Friday declaring the state in compliance with his order.

The book is beginning to close on this circus. The US Supreme Court will give it the final push.
