The County displaying the historical Bible is a clear case of Congress making a Law establishing a religion.

It's a display, for pete's sake.

There's all kinds of displays and other things like art, posters, statues, etc. on display in public buildings.

If the building decorating authority can put up those things, then it can put up other things, even religious things. Otherwise, you saw that religious expression is not allowable expression.

It's a display....don't want to read it? Then don't look at it for Pete's sake!

LEt's hope her neighbors run this busybody b*tch right out of town, as they did with the Montgomery plaintiff (also a woman, of course).

These lawyers trying so hard to throw all references to God out of our history should be required to live for a year in a Muslim country under Shari'a law. They would have a new respect and understanding for our 'separation of church and state'.

[TexasCajun]

Time to make her life HELL!

What real estate agency employs agent Kay Staley?

IMHO they need to ship this gal to downtown bahgdad to explain this to the troops personally, and see what their response is, have her explain why their rights dont matter, and why they deserve to lose their right to the first ammendment

Bingo. Thanks for the concise, well-stated perspective on this.

[My2Cents]

said she is concerned about growing religious fundamentalism as reflected in the monument.

If that's her only concern, maybe they should replace the King James Bible with the Jerusalem Bible.

Eventually the Anti-Christian Lawyer's Union is going to go for the big one: Removal of the Bible upon which one swears "..to tell the truth the whole truth and nothing but, so help me G*D"

Is another unstated goal of the ACLU to remove perjury laws? Afterall when one swears that oath, one is swearing not to commit a Clinton, er, perjury.

When will one of these suits include the administration of the oath using the Bible? You know it's coming.

[pgyanke]

They are building case law first so they can refer to precedent. The laws certainly won't make their case.

[BlessedByLiberty]

Which is why they find things that are not within the clear concise English of the Constitution.

I want to see one of the people debating the lawsuit filers ask them point blank if they want the Bible removed in every courtroom. I want to see the deer in headlights look when asked. I think Hannity would do it.
