The Governors veto of the bill designed for the legislature to have the voice in judicial appointments was because it was a clear infringement by the leg- on the constituional of the governor. power islature Court Reverses Utah Judges Ruling, Monolith May Stay The controversial monolith of the Ten Commandments in front of the Metropolitan Hall of Justice may stay. This was the ruling from the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals in Denver, which reversed Utahs Federal District Judge Willis Ritter. The ruling in essence said that the monolith is both secular and religious in nature and neither in purpose nor effect does it tend to establish religious belief. Judge Willis Ritters earlier decision said that the monolith is clearly religious in character. Judge Ritter said in his decision that in allowing it to be erected on the courthouse ground the City and County Commissions must be deemed to have adopted the programs of the Order of Eagles with the purpose and primary effects of advancing the cause of religion and certain religious concepts, thus inhibiting the ideas of persons with alternative beliefs. The reversing ' decision said, The wholsome neutrality guaranteed by the establishment and free exercise clauses of the constitution does not dictate oblit-erato- n of all our religious traditions. Chief Justice Warren Burger of the court said, Our prior holding does not call for total separation between church and state; total separation is not possible in an absolute sense. Some relationship between government and religious organization is inevitable. The line of separation, far from being a wall, is a blurred, indistinct and variable barrier depending on all the circumstnaces of a particular relationship. In analyzing the purpose and primary effect of the monolith the Circuit Court ruling states that the exact origin of the Ten Commandments is uncertain. .
