Don't misunderstand, I believe the weight of the Constitution is on the side of Moore, but I disagree that he has the right to ignore the ruling of a higher court.

We are a nation of the rule of law. And the rule of law said to move the monument.

Further, as for his own personal convictions, Paul was clear that we must obey the laws of the land unless doing so violates God's law. No where does God command the Christian to place the Ten Commandments in our courthouses.

The rule of law (Constitution) also says that the states rule on anything not specificly in the US Constitution. Article Ten, I do believe. This is exactly what he has done.

God...cmds...courthouse

Diversion.

The issue is whether or not a state religion was established.

Another issue is whether or not Judge Moore has to excise ONLY his religious expression when it comes to the work environment in his own workplace that he is charged with arranging, decorating, organizing. (That would be prohibiting his free exercise.)

Remove it based on what law? Seperation of church and state? There is no such law. A theoritical concept for sure. But law? No way.

If it were illegal for Moore to display the big ten, there would be an eleventh commanding "thou shalt not display these commandments." G-d doesn't prohibit the display, nor does the Constitution.

No where does God command the Christian to place the Ten Commandments in our courthouses.

And nowhere does God command you to respect the usurpation of authority.

We are a nation of the rule of law. And the rule of law said to move the monument.

So if a judge ordered you to jump off a cliff you would do it.

Where does it say that the Ten Commandments have no place on our courthouses?
