He will defend the proposition that the God of Christianity is supreme over the laws of our nation and that we must acknowledge Him or perish.
Is this impenetrable logic as well?

No, I don't think that is, but that isn't the issue. As a matter of law, I don't see how the federal government has the authority to order him to take down the ten commandments, any more than they would have the authority to demand he take down a plaque that said "World's Greatest Dad".

People need to stick with 1st Amendment and State's rights arguments. When these "theocracy arguments" are used, support is lost and the people look like crackpots.

I have absolutely no problem with the Ten Commandments displayed in a court house in the context of them being historical and important to the history of law. I do, however, have a problem with them being displayed as if they are the "law of the land".
