So this order violates equal protection under the 14th amendment... ... If the U.S. Supreme Court can have the ten commandments why can a state court?

I assume you mean "can't". Anyway, they can have the Ten Commandments. What Moore can't do is use the platform of the state to promote his own personal beliefs, and exclude other viewpoints. If he allowed other displays besides this one, this would have been resolved quickly and in his favor. But, of course, he won't do that, since that would wreck the utility of having the floor all to himself. And so down it comes...
