Congress is forever banned from making laws in this area.

The 14th Amendment extended the reach of the 1st Amendment to all government agencies, including states.

In the context of the 1st Amendment, 'law' is considered to include an action or policy.

Judge Moore therefore may make no law nor perform any action in his role as a government official respecting an establishment of religion. Establishing a large religious monument prominently in a government building was a clear violation of the First Amendment

The Ten Commandments displayed in a public building does not establish a state religion. It requires the blotting out of vast portions of American history to believe that particular bit of Leftist propaganda.

Sorry to see so many FReepers who have allowed themselves to be propagandized so thoroughly by the Left that you will help them forward their agenda.

Well, that's your opinion.
