so its okay to show art about Moses and the tablets, but writing down commandments on the tablets is where the wall between church and state comes crashing down? bring me up to speed here...

The 11th Circuit decision in Moore's case explained why the Supreme Court's display-- and another display of the Ten Commandments the 11th Circuit had upheld in another case 2 weeks earlier-- were different from what Moore was doing. The Supreme Court mural depicts the history of law-- it shows Moses, Mohammad, Hammurabbi, Greek and Roman lawgivers, etc.-- without singling out a particular religion as being endorsed by the Government.

Sound lame. So, if Moore simple adds a few more displays ie Roman and Greek lawgivers then it would be ok ?
