OK let's say he sells a piece of property nearby to a private citizen? (I know he tried selling the property it was ON to a private organization already) Then he sells the monument to a private citizen? What's to stop them putting the two together?

It would be pretty outrageous for the Judge to try to sell a piece of the Alabama State Supreme Court Building property to a private party, especially since I doubt like hell he's got the authority.

If a private party managed to secure title to a piece of property across from the building and put up this kind of display, I'd strongly defend their right to do so.

First of all, what you "know" is not true. Moore did not try to sell the property the monument is on, which happens to be the Alabama state judiciary building and is not his to sell. If Moore does happen to own a piece of property somewhere, nearby or not, there is nothing to stop him from putting a monument there or selling his property to someone who will. The fact is, however, that he expressly opposes any suggestion that the monument be moved to any other location. I guess that would kinda deprive him of martyr status if he did that.

absolutely nothing.
and that is what should be done. should have been done from the start... or he could have just allowed a few other displays of hammurabi's code, which predated moses, or the legal mind of sparticus... just like on the supreme court of the USA...

its the perceived and intentional elevation of ONE set of religious laws as our foundation, that is illegal... not the display itself.

the supremes have let dozens if not hundreds of similar displays stand elsewhere... the way judge moore did this is what got him in trouble... and I expect he will be impeached on legal grounds for what has gone on behind the scenes...

a piece of stone wont save this nation.
a heart that obeys God, will, stone monuments or not.
