Here is Judge Ed Carnes of the 11th Circuit panel saying:

"... if Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore's Ten Commandments monument were allowed to stand, it would mean a massive revision of how the courts have interpreted the First Amendment for years."

This leftist judge decided not to consider Terri's case.

Personally I think the government is taking the First Amendment to far. If you read it, it states that there can be no government appointed religion. No "national standard". It doesn't say there needs to be a full separation of church and state. Just that each religion is treated equally.

The government was founded on the Catholic (or similar) basis. This is why they display such symbols. They aren't stating, however, that Catholicism is the "national religion".
