``Our concern all along has been compliance with the constitution. Once the monument has been removed, our concerns will have been addressed,'' said attorney Ayesha Khan, who participated in the call.

Who's Constitution, America's or the United Nations?

the courts just "established a religon" ...atheism is a belief...and cannot be proven...its adherents hold to it by faith and faith alone...
You cannot prove a negation of God therefore imo atheism is the form of a faith..aka religon
The new religon of America...atheism brought to you not by the rule of law but by the rule
of judges...
We the People...have been usurped...by black robbed dictators ..imo

Where does Attorney General Ashcroft or President Bush stand on this issue?

...the separate and equal Station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent Respect to the Opinions of Mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the Separation.

Jeez, the declaration of independence must really cheese these people off...

They stand silent, as they should. This is a matter for the State of Alabama.

"

What's your point? Does one have to be a Christian to be a U.S. citizen? Do Christians have more rights than non-Christians? Should they, in your opinion?

Me thinks the lawyers have been a little surprised by the outcry. When do lawyers not want people fined, etc.?

You had the same thought I did.  I watched her debate this issue and thought it rather chilling to watch
what might be a Moslem plead against might loosely be termed the Christian position on this.

It's simple. Just find a few skinheads, give them white sheets and tell them to yell that the 10 Commandments were written by a Jew, it's a Jewish claim, etc. The ACLU, with it's high percentage of Jewish lawyers might take the bait and even defend the 10 commandments. But to gain the ACLU's assistance, this must be framed as an anti-Jewish confrontation.

Did anybody see Ayesha Khan on Hardball yesterday? She said that the momument could be offensive to people "who don't believe in the Ten Commandments".

I'll bet it would. If that's a new minority group that's going to get special protection, I'm leaving this country.

Agreed. This Khan woman was quite subdued in her arguements on screen. It seem rather odd to me. They pushed this to the ultimate limit, then she didn't voice her position much at all on camera. This was her big op to win the public over.

Oh, lovely argument that. We're to avoid offense now, are we? Ms. Khan, I really don't think you want to go there.

Don't you think it's rather interesting that a Moslem may have plead the case here against this Christian artifact. It's certainly not an observation that we should be afraid of mentioning if it is true. It appears a possibility, even if it ultimately winds up not being the case.

Roy Moore has the right to put up the 10 Commandments display.
The federal judge does not have constitutional basis for preventing him.
The other 'bama judges are within their rights to overrule Moore and have the monument moved.
