The United States Constitution simply is not concerned with micromanaging the behavior of the high officials of the sovereign states that formed it. Would you have federal marshalls incarcerate a Supreme Court Justice that evangelized in his conversations with employees during business hours? Just exactly where do you find support in the Constitution for doing that? If the federal judges want to run their ranks like the anti-Spanish Inquisition, stamping out evidence of Christianity whereever it is found, so be it. But there is nothing in the Constitution that gives them the power to take the Inquisition to every corner of the country.

Moreover, to demean posting the 10 Commandments as "promoting particular religious views" is nothing more than the product of the ignorance of history, and the positive forces that brought civilization to its peak. One expects political leaders to lead, and there is no greater display of leadership than taking a stand against the hijacking of the Constitution by anti-religious extremists.
