A federal judge says a New Mexico city must remove a monument inscribed with the Ten Commandments from the lawn in front of Bloomfield City Hall.
The Daily Times reports that Senior U.S. District Judge James A. Parker issued a ruling Thursday in a lawsuit filed by the American Civil Liberties Union, saying the monument constitutes government speech and has the “principal effect of endorsing religion.” …

Tell the judge to shove it up his smelly Obamahole.
Really.
Where does this dork live?
Watch him, hound him, make his life a living hell.
It’s long past time we give back to liberals what they’ve been giving to us.
Now, Bloonmfielders, go to it.
Make this man regret he didn’t go into a useful profession.
Tell the judge to bring his forklift and remove it himself.
oh, not this crap again.
But, we’ll see where this goes in court.
A few years ago, the Supreme Court ruled on 10 Commandment monuments in a pair of cases.
In one case, they agreed that 10 Commandments had to be removed from a Kentucky courthouse. In the other, they ruled that the 10 Commandments were allowed to stay on the Texas Capitol grounds.
So, the court precedents in this area are muddled. We’ll see.
Nothing.
Van Orden v. Perry, 545 U.S. 677 (2005).
Yup, a federal judge once more ruling in favor of the American Communist Litigation Union.
Absolutely! Any judge that knowingly violates something so patently obvious as this should be removed from the bench with prejudice.
The 10 Commandments are prominantly displayed in the Supreme Court Building in Washington, DC. In full view of the Justices as they sit on the bench hearin orals.
Iirc the crux of the SCOTUS rulings have been that it’s ok to display the Commandments in a secular/historical context, as a representation of historical cultural law. It’s when they’re put up and endorsed from a religious perspective that it’s a problem.
It ticks me off to no end that we have to be so careful and lawerly over things like this. Madison’s great line (”de minimus non cureat lex” I think it was) very much applies, IMHO.
Great opportunity for Susana Martinez to teach Americans a valuable civics lesson by refusing to obey the orders and reminding folks that Federal judges have no jurisdiction over the states on religious matters.
For 2,000+ years in any civilized society - those commandments have been the basis for the law - as they are in the US today:
I am the Lord thy God, ... Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven images.
Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain.
Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
Honor thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long.
Thou shalt not kill.
Thou shalt not commit adultery.
Thou shalt not steal.
Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.
Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s house.
Ungrateful, ignorant slobs who have no respect for religious persons and want to impose their lack of spirituality and decency on others. Ironic ain’t it?
When you get right down to it, we would not have to be so lawerly and careful, if liberals weren’t filing lawsuits over these issues time and time again.
If liberals would just let it be, we wouldn’t have these discussions. Liberals should learn that there is no constitutional right NOT to be offended by something.
Liberals can hardly claim that we are some sort of theocracy, based on the display of a 10 Commandments monument. It all comes down to them being offended on some level by that display. Not due to the laws or legal actions of our government somehow acting based on religious faith.
Tell the judge if they remove the Law of God, then there is no law and he/she/it is out of a job.
The Supreme Court:) LOL!!!!!
The state religion is atheism
Time to tell a federal judge to pound sand. Sooner or later someone will. Maybe Bloomfield should start a trend.
Parker was nominated to the United States District Court for the District of New Mexico by President Ronald Reagan on July 10, 1987.
NM has gone all California on us. Hope TEXAS stalls the eastward advance.
... and the forced removal has the principal effect of endorsing atheism, which is itself a religion!
