Actually, when the question arose for defending Judge Moore in OK on the same issue, my boss at the time (head of the Thomas More Law Center West Coast) wanted to get involved. I asked him which version of the 10 Commandments he intended to defend, as, though they are mostly similar, the Catholics have a slightly different version from the ones used by most Protestants/Jews, and there are two different versions in the Bible: Exodus 20:2–17 and Deuteronomy 5:6–21 with another version at Exodus 34:11–27.

So, say that we’re all agreed that the Ten Commandments should be posted — which version, and who gets to decide?

I say we just use one of the three versions posted on the Supreme Court itself.
The Supreme Court itself has displayed purely religious scriptures, such as Leviticus 25:10 engraved in copper and bronze, circa 1790
