How can they walk by the 10 Commandments carved on the walls of the Supreme Court every day

Because the tablets inside the court are blank.

However, the tablets on the outside East Portico (I think it's on the east) are not.

A great many strained and implausible arguments have been made that Moses holds The Law, not the 10 Commandments. It requires a very lawerly mind to grasp that disingenuous subtlety.

Why Moses sits at the very center and most prominent position among the other sculpted "lawgivers" (e.g., Confucius and Hammurabi) is unknown. Just an artistic fluke?

Angkor,
I have some pictures of the engravings in various places on/in the Supreme Court Building, and what I see is
---going up the steps to the building is a row of lawmakers with Moses holding the Ten Commandments. If there is anything written on the tablets, I can't read it.
---the two oak doors going into the courthouse have the Ten Commandments engraved on each. Just the numbers are on there.
---inside the courtroom, right above where the judges sit, is a display of the Ten Commandments. Again, there is writing on them, but I can't read it.

As I write this Fox News gave the decision that the Commandments can't be displayed in Texas or Kentucky.
