Have you read the findings of the court? It's not as simple as you have made it out to be

No I haven't, but I will. It'll have to be tomorrow though. I'm not sure how simple I've made it out to be.

I've heard descriptions of the monument. I'm looking at photos of it now. Whatever his reasons for making this case, the outcome has national repercussions. If the SCOTUS rules against Moore, it may affect other courts which have successfully defended their own monuments which contain the Ten Commandments. It may indeed adversely affect state's rights to follow their own constitutions and determine what contributes to or takes away from the common good of their citizens.

This isn't Moore's first fight for the Ten Commandments. He was unsuccessfully sued by the ACLU for having a small plaque in his office. No decision was returned.

Has the memorial to Dr. King been erected yet? Someone was going to display his most famous speech beside the Ten Commandments memorial. I haven't heard any more about that.
