Located on the entry doors of the Supreme Court there are two tablets with the roman numerals 1 through 10 engraved into the wood - what do you think those represent?

Like everything else carved into the door - the decalogue shown in an historical context.

Still a far cry from "chiseled into the SCOTUS building" as the original poster said.

Look, I admit that you're right. There are some representations of the decalogue's tablets in the SCOTUS building. Will you admit that I'm right, that they're there in an historical context along with other historical lawgivers and not for their specific religious content?
