You don't have the freedom to use the state as a hammer to smack people with your beliefs.

I hate to jump in here but cant help it.

Christains are being forced to accept things THEY dont believe, among them homosexuality and abortion. But we want to have the Ten Commandments posted in rememberance of how our laws were founded, and everyone throws a titty-baby fit!

The ACLU condones the Murder of Children, The Decay of Society thru Homo marriage, Illegal Aliens and the resulting terrorism, YET THEY FEEAR CHRISTIAN DISPLAYS!

The ACLU and all those who would remove God are hell-bound.

Believe me, I know exactly how you feel ;)

Roy Moore can have the Ten Commandments tattooed on his forehead if he likes. He can put up billboards all over the country if he wishes. He can have millions of copies printed up and hand them out to every man, woman, and child in the state of Alabama if it interests him. The only thing the Constitution says he cannot do is use his office to promote them to the exclusion of other faiths.

This is not, to put it mildly, a seriously oppressive condition placed on him. Personally, I think he should be able to put the Commandments in the courthouse if he wants - where he went wrong was when he decided that he couldn't promote his beliefs without stacking the deck in his favor, and made sure that only the Commandments were displayed on property that rightfully belongs to all the citizens of Alabama, and not to Roy Moore.
