"All Moore's got to do is put Confucius and Solon alongside the 10 Commandments, and he'll likely be OK. But, of course, Moore won't do that, which is why there's a problem."

But not the only problem.

Moore's opponents aren't suing him to add their own images in, but rather to supress his freedom of expression.

How many times must it be said?

-- Moore is not enpowered to express his 'freedom' by erecting religious monuments on state property.

But they would have no case if Moore agreed to include the Hammarabic code, and Solon, and Confucius in his display.

Moore, of course, will not do this,because he believes these expressions to be inferior to Christianity, and therein lies the problem.

The state cannot prefer one religious expression over another.

The intentions of Moore's opponents are not the issue. His refusal to allow other images is what makes his case and argument legally distingishable from just his right to have a display. That point is not at issue, at issue is his right to display only his chosen religius symbols and exclude all others - that is what Moore is fighting for. That is unAmerican
