And you'll applaud them?

I always applaud upholding the rule of law.

What law? The law for the first 200 years of America where voluntary prayer in school and the posting of the Ten Commandments was Constitutional or the the law for the past 50 years or so where it was UnConstitutional?

You left out part of it.

The upholding of the rule of law, as written by judges.

That's an audience. Remember the guys in the black limousines: before the communists, during the communists, and after the communists, always applauding the law. There's a great scene at the end of The Promise, a german film, where the East German agent smiles and cheers as the wall comes down.

Hey Buddy, prior to 1861 in this country, it was legal for Southern states to own slaves. I guess you would applaud upholding that federal rule of law just like this one.

Just because it's a law doesn't make it morally correct.

There's also a law you can kill eight month old babies, I guess you agree with that law also.

You would have been a British supporter in 1776.

I support the State of Alabama keeping the Decalogue based on 10th Amendment grounds, provided it does so in a manner consistent with its own state constitution and not on Moore's personal whim.

"I always applaud upholding the rule of law."

What law? Do you mean the Dredd Scott law, the one that ruled it legal to own and sell slaves?

Or the separate but equal law, the one which segregated all African Americans to their own schools and such??

Please. Again. Which religion is being established by having the 10 Commandments hanging on the wall??

Judiasm. Mormonism?? Catholocism??

Do you also want the Bible outlawed as a means to swear someone in to the witness stand??

Since you don't like hypotheticals, I've found a real law.

In Ohio, if you ignore an orator on Decoration day to such an extent as to publicly play croquet or pitch horseshoes within one mile of the speaker's stand, you can be fined $25.00.

Would you applaud the fining of a father playing horseshoes with his son 5,279 feet away from the speaker's stand? After all, this has happened, and it is upholding the law.

Liberal thinking such as yours has resulted in over-crowded
jails all over our nation, uneducated high-school graduates, and a total disrespect for any kind of authority. The Ten Commandments are ten rules to live by to better the lives of all people, regardless of religious
affiliation. LEGISLATURES WRITE LAWS -- JUDGES INTREPRET
THEM! THAT IS THE RULE OF LAW OF OUR CONSTITUTION.

The law of "man" is not the law I follow. I'm free, whether you are or not. You simple, simple tool.
