Republican delegates from Alabama to this week's New York convention were disappointed that the party's platform doesn't focus more on the public display of the Ten Commandments, reports the AP. Delegates such as state Sen. Bill Armistead wanted the platform to endorse a bill outlawing court rulings abridging a public "acknowledgment of God." The bill was written in part by former Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore, who was removed from his office after defying a federal court order to remove his Ten Commandments monument from the state courthouse.
