Two residents of Richmond, Virginia, have asked the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn a ruling by the state Supreme Court that allowed officials to remove a statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee.
A petition was filed Wednesday by the residents who live near the site where the statue was removed, arguing then-Gov. Ralph Northam did not have the proper authority to revoke an agreement to keep the statue erected on state-owned land.
