FINALLY!!! - - Oh, if only this decision would be appealed to the Supreme Court. Then maybe we'd see this mythological "wall" fall once and for all. As of now, this decision is only binding in Michigan, Ohio, Kentucky and Tennessee.

4 down, 46 to go!!!

An ide alightbulb just appeared over my head...Get a conservative to appeal it, so the outcome will become national.

Good news. The ACLU strawdog arguments are truly tiresome and not constitutional.

we plan to call for legislation placing the Ten Commandments in courthouses throughout the state

Why stop with just the courthouses? Why not also place the 10 Commandments in just about every public place: public libraries, public schools, firehouses, municipal buildings, county nursing homes, football stadiums, etc. Seriously.

If "the wall" doesn't exist, why assume that placement will be limited to courthouses? Also, if "the wall" doesn't exist, why should the placement of religious codes, or representations of religious codes, be restricted to just the 10 Commandments? Not to be crude about it, but other, non-Judeo-Christian religions will be interested in such prime product placement.

Who will get to make such decisions? Or will the "product placement" be put out to bid?

I doubt you would see it "fall". The S.C. would most likely rule narrowly, meaning just to the specifics of what ever case they were hearing and would uphold the Lemon test. Just a prediction.

I believe that there is a wonderful legal argument to made that the original intent of the 'establishment clause' was to actally codify the First Commandment.

After all, if the government establishes a religion, the government would be assuming the role of God.

Thank You Lord, this is an answer to millions of prayers. Please continue to add states to the list who recognize this truth. The implications are huge. It's about time this Christian nation get it's head screwed on straight. Please work in the hearts and minds of those who have the authority and power to right this terrible wrong perpetrated by the ACLU and others. Amen

Religion is wholly exempt from Civil Society's cognizance.

"Let us leave prayer to be prompted by the devotion of the heart, and not the bidding of the State." Source is: Representative Gulian Verplanck of New York on the floor of the U. S. House of Representatives in 1832 objecting to the idea of Congress asking President Andrew Jackson to issue a Religious Proclamation recommending prayer and fasting.

The House took the advice and refused to ask the President to recommend prayer and fasting. Of course, Jackson had previously made it publicly known that any member of Congress that brought him such a foolish request would get his sorry butt kicked back to the Temple of Satan where the idea sprang from.
