if all the figures in the SC friezes are equal in import why are the rest still recognized for what they are yet Moses has been reduced to a non-entities and his tablets have been morphed into the Bill of Rights?Are you not talking about Moses's depiction on the frieze in that comment? That's how it reads to me and that's what I was replying to.
You also said...Nobody's claiming that Moses's tablet contains the Bill of Rights.
I think that I demonstrated several places in the article that do claim that about several displays of artwork at the SC building.
You also said...Moses with the 10 Commandments is depicted on the *South* Frieze, but the author's conspiracy theory concerns the East Frieze.
Again, I showed you where the author referred to several other displays and in fact specifically centered his point on the South frieze in counter-point with the East frieze.
You also said...Moses is not on the East Frieze at all.
East SideTourists don't often see the back, east side, of the Supreme Court building. On this side, the words "Justice the Guardian of Liberty" are carved in the architrave above the columns. The sculptures in the pediment, carved by Herman A. McNeil, represent three great lawmakers: Moses, Confucius, and Solon. These figures are flanked by figures that symbolize Means of Enforcing the Law, Tempering Justice with Mercy, Carrying on Civilization, and Settlement of Disputes Between States.

Moses is depicted on the East side.
I'm replying specifically to your comment which I italicized above.
That is fine and dandy but you made several false statements in replying to it which I felt like correcting.
