Well, the courts say the 14th Amendment applies the BOR to the states (they are wrong).

But, even if it did, posting the Ten Commandments would not meet the test for what an "establishment of religion" is. That was a very narrow restriction.

Congress, our Federal law makers, not only lack the power to make laws that are not enumerated in the Constitution [which they do unconstitutionally anyway], but they also defunded the judicial activists who tried to legislate this fictitious, mythological law. The House took away any funding to enforce the court decision. They do have that enumerated power, but the power hungry judicial branch is trying to ignore that annoying detail. What I'm saying is your question is as incoherant as the false claim that judges must crusade to separate state governments from God. Note that the Ten Commandments are in the Supreme Court building, and that congress pays a minister to pray before each session.

Good question! What law has Judge Moore broken? What law did Judge Thomas cite to remove the Ten Commandments display?
