It is of course well worth noting that this is a secular display of lawgivers (both religious and non-religious figures are in it), as opposed to a religious display of the laws themselves. There are other such displays in the Supreme Court building. One has Moses, Mohammed, Jesus, Hammiraubi, etc. in it. The Ten Commandments are depicted in three locations on the United States Supreme Court building. There is a big oak door separating the courtroom from the central hallway where the Ten Commandments are depicted alone.

Tablets just like these are located above the head of Rehnquist in within the court itself. I really wish they would have stepped in to settle the debate...although their track record lately is not so hot.
