"...respecting the establishment of a religion nor PROHIBITING THE FREE EXERCISE THEREOF..."

Interesting.


and history unfolds before us as lines continue to be drawn

[LiteKeeper]

SPOTREP - when will the courts begin to uphold the Law and the Constitution, and stop trying to advance their ACLU-tainted agenda?

[Nowhere Man]

That's great! It's about time somebody stood up and told them to "shove it up their clymers." This is one judge I have a lot of respect for.

"...respecting the establishment of a religion nor PROHIBITING THE FREE EXERCISE THEREOF..."

Yeah, right.

Let some coven of Voodoo/Santorea worshipers start holding ceremonies in the center of the courthouse where the stone is, or just putting up an idol, and you would be all in favor of RESTRICTING.

"Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore vowed yesterday to keep a 2½ ton granite monument depicting the Ten Commandments in the rotunda of the judiciary building in Montgomery."

WOW!!!

Moore doesn't even sound like Jewish last name.

[Batrachian]

"it represented a government promotion of a particular religion, in violation of the First Amendment."

The Big Lie, once again. As stated in the article, the 1st Amendment says nothing of the kind.

[Luis Gonzalez]

Would you post the same response if the Judge in question had put up a Muslim religious symbol instead of a statue depicting the basis of Judeo/Christian beliefs?

That coven probably wouldn't sneak in under cover of darkness, not telling anyone else about it, and put it up with a video crew from Coral Ridge Ministries, either.

I missed the story of someone holding a worship ceremony in the courthouse. And of course, Voodoo & Santeria figure so heavily in the formation and foundation of this nation.

I have a question...

Since when does a Federal Judge tell a state how to decorate their buildings?

[quark]

As we say on the Left Coast, Judge Moore has cajones.

The entire premise for the form of government we have chosen -- that our inalienable & individual rights come directly from God, and we the people loan them to democratically elected representatives -- will crumble if we lose the connection to the Almighty.

The ACLU, anarchists that they are, must be confronted and stopped...now.

[martian_22]

I think the Judge is drawing the line at cultural identity theft. He refuses to be told what he is.
Pretty healthy attitude, IMHO.

[Centurion2000]

Hmm .... so how long until someone sues to remove the ten commandments from the Supreme Court location ?

[trustandobey]

Thanks for posting this..I can always use some good news. Thank God for Judge Moore, and I will continue to pray that other Judges might come to their senses!

[Arthur McGowan]

Strange that people should realize that courts don't have to be obeyed when they order the removal of the Ten Commandments. Why hasn't any governor ever realized that the states don't have to obey when the Supreme Court says that states aren't allowed to protect unborn babies from being murdered?

[Chancellor Palpatine]

ahem

[Fpimentel]

States should be able to decide how thier courts are decorated, the feds should stay out of it.

So are you saying you wouldn't be judged fairly by a Muslim judge if he knew you were a Christian?

"Congress shall make no law respecting the establishment of a religion nor PROHIBITING THE FREE EXERCISE THEREOF..."

[boycott]

Judge Moore is doing my homestate of Alabama proud. I am proud to see someone standing up to our liberal courts. Maybe Judge Moore should ask the appeals court which of the Ten Commandments don't apply? I would love to see the idiots on the appeals court reply to that.
