You know, after seeing the arguments go back and forth, I wonder if the best solution might be to let the voters decide. We conservatives are always railing about liberal judges legislating by fiat. If we can agree on nothing else, we should be able to agree that *the government serves us, the people*. Does Alabama support referenda? If *the people* can't be trusted to decide whether this monument is included in a state supreme court that is *meant to serve them* then we are really far gone.

Unfortunately, Windcatcher, we are really far gone. A referendum to keep the Ten Commandments in the rotunda would pass by a landslide in Alabama, but some federal judge and a federal appeals court and the SCOTUS would overturn it. Our federal judiciary has become so deeply corrupted by the anti-religion zealots that it has lost all moral authority. That's why it's so important that Judge Moore has made a stand now.

Actually, they already decided. Moore ran on a platform that rights are granted by the Creator and he was elected overwhelmingly.

However, it doesn't matter to proponents of an overly strong central government, omnipotent 14th amendment and worshippers of the federal judicial oligarch.

i've got a better idea.

why don't you pass an amendment to repeal the parts of the US and alabama constitution that offend you?

the power is with the people, after all.

The voters did decide.

Judge Moore was elected.

"If *the people* can't be trusted to decide whether this monument is included in a state supreme court that is *meant to serve them* then we are really far gone."

ANd yet, that is exactly the position of the ACLU on a number of issues - the people cannot be trusted to make the decisions.
