(NewsNation) — A motion requesting that a historical monument displaying the Ten Commandments be displayed at the Indiana Statehouse has been filed by Indiana Gov. Mike Braun and Attorney General Todd Rokita.

The motion filed Monday in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Indiana requested that a federal court remove an injunction that has been in place since 2000, blocking the placement of the monument.

State officials have been prevented from displaying the Ten Commandments, the Bill of Rights and the Preamble to the Indiana Constitution in front of the statehouse. The monument was donated by the Indiana Limestone Institute.

The motion stated that the Supreme Court’s initial decision should no longer be applicable, citing recent decisions made by the high court, including a ruling that allowed the Ten Commandments to be displayed at the Texas Capitol and other examples.

“The Statehouse grounds feature many monuments and markers celebrating Indiana’s and America’s heritage,” Rokita said.

“This monument belongs among them as a reminder of core principles that have guided our nation. After all these years, it’s time to place this historical recognition where Hoosiers and visitors can appreciate its significance in our common story.”

The monument, currently located in southern Indiana in the town of Bedford, would be relocated to its original location at the Indiana Statehouse.

“This monument reflects foundational texts that have shaped our Nation’s laws, liberties, and civic life for generations,” Braun said.

“Given the clear shift in constitutional law and the long history of similar displays across the country, we ask the court to lift this outdated injunction. Restoring this historical monument is about honoring our heritage and who we are as Hoosiers.”
