Hmmm...That's an interesting idea. I would hope that this will eventually make its way to the US Supreme Court. Doesn't the SCOTUS chamber have the 10 Commandments chiseled in stone?

Already happened. The US Supreme Court rejected the appeal.

They have a depiction of Moses holding two tablets. The only difference is the lines on the two tablets are as blurry as the judiciary's understanding of the Constitution.

You had better hope that the Supreme Court refuses to hear this case, because it would vote 9-0 against Judge Moore. He has so contaminated this case with his own remarks and refusal to respect Federal courts which have jurisdiction over this subject that he can't possibly win.
Judge Moore wasn't interested in winning this legal battle. He was interested in becoming a martyr to the cause for other reasons.
If you want to win on this issue, you bring your test case to the Supreme Court carefully. There is nothing careful about the way Judge Moore has handled this.

Doesn't the SCOTUS chamber have the 10 Commandments chiseled in stone?Yes, but that is different. That rock isn't guilty because there is no record that the artist wanted to convey a religious theme. If someday we discover some old diary that says the artist did indeed desire to promote religion through his art then it too will have to come done.
Attributing intentions to a rock is just plain nuts. We have crossed the line to insanity.
