No I don't, he stepped outside the first amendment when he refused to include other monuments. I believe in a vigorous application of the first amendment as displayed in my town square where we display the Baby Jesus and the Menorah on either side of the memorial to our dead vets during the holidays.

Got no problem with that. Most of these "lawgiver" displays, like the one all these folks like to point to at the Supreme Court, include all kinds of historical references (such as Hammurabi - yep, he wrote the laws for what is modern-day IRAQ!), not one exalted over all others. But Moore clearly was trying to push the envelope to advance his own views. It is nothing new for him. And he continues to demonstrate his lack of knowledge of the Constitution by claiming that his interpretation (not even the interpretation of his Court, but HIS interpretation) takes precedence over that of a Federal appellate court.
