In the House of Representatives, there are profiles around the Chamber of the great law givers. It is very multicultural in teh good sense. I know Napoleon is there, and there are several others (Justinian I think) and even Confucius (I think).

Above the speakers' chair is the plaque of Moses. He is the only one who is not profiled but depicted head on, b/c he is the first law giver.

I'm surprised that no one has mentioned this already.

If what Moses brought down from Mt. Sinai has to go out of the court house in Alabama, then Moses has to go from the US House Chamber.

My prediction is that Moses and the tablets he gave will stay just right where they are.

If you have ever heard Moore speak, you would know what I mean. Moore is one of the few people I've ever encountered who truly fears no man, but deeply fears God.

There's a big difference between the SCOTUS, the US House of Reps and the Alabama State Judicial Building. The SCOTUS portrays many different legal authorities from history. Moore, on the other hand, has categorically refused to display anything BUT the Ten Commandments. The SCOTUS' approach is historical, Moore's is distinctly religious.
