Maybe replace it with a copy of the U.S. Constitution and its Amendments.

That's called the rule of law, Roscoe. There's no criminal penalty for coveting neighbor wives or taking Lord's names in vain or ignoring the Sabbath.

All that document does is scream to an American Hindu, Buddhist, Sikh, Muslim or Native American: "Your individual standing and inalienable American rights, as a non Christian, are compromised in this Court of Law.'

That's unacceptable. I can go 30-40 minutes at a time without gazing at the Ten Commandments. Got em memorized in fact. I don't need that affirmation in the Courthouse, my rights to a fair trial will be protected by the United States Constitution, not the Ten Commandments.

Myron Thompson isn't the law.

From David Limbaugh:

The American legal system, of course, is based on the English system. U.S. Supreme Court Justice Joseph Story in 1829 wrote, "There never has been a period in which the Common Law did not recognize Christianity as lying at its foundations."
