The only thing I fear is a theocracy, Walsh. Of any kind, under any religious banner

Then you have nothing to fear from the Ten Commandments posted prominently in court houses as long as the Judges do not use tham as legal precedent in their decisions contrary to their Constitutions they are sworn, to God, to uphold.

By the way, some day perhaps I'll get a chance to use your last name when I want to get a not so subtle point across. Spur just doesn't have the same effect.

What guarantee would I have as a Muslim citizen that a judge like Roy Moore, who has specifically stated that my rights are derived only from Judeo-Christianity (in his view), would not base his decision in my case on the first commandment, since he obviously considers my God a "strange God"?
