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

Size doesn't matter right?

Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott applauded Wednesday's appeals court ruling.

"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."

Going to SCOTUS now, two big rocks on state property. The one in Texas is constitutional, the one in Alabama is "unconstitutional".

Fifth and Eleventh Circuits at loggerheads, call in the "law makers". :-}

To me, it appears larger, and more "in your face" than Alabama's.
Of course, it's Texas-sized!

It's a huge granite slab that is about twice as big as Moore's monument. Here's a photo of it I found on a quick web search that has a lady standing next to it for size comparison.
