Is this smaller or larger than Judge Moore's "rock"?

Sounds like a prayer life wouldn't hurt him at all.

Looks like it's soon going to be time for Sandra Day O'Connor to start looking at French public opinion polls again so she can tailor her ruling to fit their sensibilities.

"The Ten Commandments are undoubtedly a sacred religious text, but they are also a foundational document in the development of Western legal codes and culture," Abbott said Thursday. "The Texas monument has stood for over 40 years, and the court's decision affirms that the monument is entirely consistent with the requirements of the U.S. Constitution."

Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott understands the Constitution!

Of all days to have this news. I will pray for Judge Moore to be returned to his position.

Just wonderin here. How does a "homeless" man afford to hire a lawyer to sue in Federal court?

No, Mr. Moorer insisted he was placing it because it was the religious basis of our country and that was what was prohibited.
The Federal Circuit Court was clear on that.

If he had placed it, as the Texas copy was placed, as "a foundational document in the development of Western legal codes and culture" it could have stayed.

It was not the Ten Commandments that were prohibited, but the Ten Commandments placed for religious reasons.

alright!

HLL, you've gotta admit that the contradictory logic is maddening. One monument OK, another monument not OK.

"God save the court" is OK. "In God we Trust" is OK.

In your heart, you know that these decisions defy balancing on the head of a pin.

key segments of law founded on the moral and cultural ethics provided by the commandments.

This is an interesting distinction. A lot of lefties believe that anything referred to as "morality" is no different from religion.

Of course, quite a few of us who believe in God, believe the same thing. i.e.: morality comes from following God's law.

But the secular law can and should treat them as separate concepts. "Thou shalt not steal" is unambiguously a moral concept, whether you believe it comes from God or not.

I guess I don't have a point. Just making an observation that has some bearing on the fight to keep the Ten Commandments from being removed from public life.

Where would a homeless man get the funds to sue??

Good news from Texas, Ping!

Oh...I'll bet the USSC will be willing to hear this one! Just wait and see.

The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has affirmed the state's position that the placement of the Ten Commandments monument on the Capitol grounds is not an unconstitutional attempt to establish state-sponsored religion.

That's because no law was passed that authorized the Ten Commandments monument to be placed on the Capitol grounds.

Where did a homeless person get the money to file a law suit?
