What specific law causes Judge Moore to give up his own right to freely his express his religion when he enters state property?
He is not just some citizen reading a bible in the building, he is the 'State' for all practical purposes in that building. Much as a teacher is not as free in a classroom as on a sidewalk to expouse religious beliefs, Judge Moore is not just some Alabama citizen trying to express his rights. He is the head Judicial officer in that State and is choosing to decorate the main judicial building in his religion to the exclusion of others.
Please look beyond whether you personally agree with Moore. The right you are fighting for is for any Judge, Police Chief, etc. to make their buildings (not their offices) religiously oriented.

Just a note to myself. I miss the old days, when people would leave tags open....and another 50 posts would be added just to fix some random tag. This dang Focus Forum 2004 is just too good.

And yet, where is it physically written that teachers surrender their right to freely express their religious beliefs once they enter certain government property?
