Wrong, part of it is chiseled into the SCOTUS building.

The one that is smack dab in the center of the building isn't chiseled, but it is Moses and he is holding the tablets.

You don't think the tablets are a representation of the 10 Commandments that he's holding?

Of course they are. But the Commandments themselves aren't chiseled onto the building, which pabianice said they are.

You're proving my point. His was that the Commandments were there in a religious context, mine that they were in an historical context. Moses is right there with Confucious, Hammurabi and Napoleon. It's no more an endorsement of Napoleon than it is the Ten Commandments.
