THe courts of this land have allowed and gave their blessings to, the public display and forced public funding of the most grotesque and offensive slime imagenable, by ruling that anything called art is a form of free speech and fully protected under the first amendment. This rock is obviousely art, regardless of who it offends, and the entirety of it, ten Commandments and all, is protected by the first amendment. If the Supreme court of the US rules otherwise or refuses to rule at all, as it did: They have exposed their bigotry toward anything Judeo/Christian, and have forfeited their credibility upon the altar of incompentence, thus revealing their unfitness to serve.

Good obeservation but its not the monument that is really on trial here. Its what Judge Moore sees that the monument represents. In the SC and the currency and the opening of congess, the displays have no meaning to the participants and are therefore exempt from scrutiny.

In the present case, its not the monument nor the contents of it nor the placement of it. Its Moores beliefs that are the issue. He sees a religious connection and therefore its wrong. If he saw no connection, only art and history then it would be OK.

You will notice that the folks attacking Moore over this are angry about his convictions and the monument is merely a symbol for them.
