Nice try, but it's not a decoration. That is completely contrary to Roy Moore's intention, which was, and is, serious.

I keep trying to get people to actually read the transcripts of the trial, where he actually says what his intentions were and are, but almost nobody will.

When I say that his intention is to force the people of Alabama to acknowledge that Jesus is Lord, I am taking two things he actually said and drawing the obvious conclusion.

First, he wants to force the people of Alabama who come into the court house to acknowledge God.

Second, he believes that the First Amendment protection of religion only protects expressions of belief in the Judeo-Christian God.

Given my spotty comprehension of the various Protestant beliefs about Jews, I don't really know whether he'd actually try to force a Jew to acknowlege Jesus, but he certainly wants everybody else to do so.

If all you know is what you heard on TV, you haven't really read what he has to say.

Actually, it is Moore's intention to base this on free expression. Two comments of his demonstrate this:

1. He stated that on his way into district court he noticed they had a statue of a greek goddess set up and it didn't make him uncomfortable at all. (I heard him say this on FoxNews.)

2. This is from an interview today with CBN: MOORE:Because you put a monument of the Ten Commandments on the floor of the rotunda, is that a law respecting an establishment of religion made by Congress? It certainly isn't and it isn't prohibited by law. And when a federal district judge says, 'You can't do that,' then he becomes an interior decorator of your court

The point: He doesn't complain how they decorate their District court with a statue to a greek goddess and they shouldn't complain how he decorates his court with a statue with to the invisible God with God-words on it.

Watch and see if I'm not right.
