Why no comment from the Supreme Court? Why call them Supreme? They should always be required to state why they vote the way they do. Instead of intolerance towards the displaying of one religion, wouldn't it be better to encourage the display of as many different religions in the community that the community votes to display? Heck have a Baptist, Moslem, Catholic, Hindu, whatever the voters vote for. Gimme some feedback and edification on this folks, thanks.

Isn't that what the "Majority Opinion" and "Minority Opinion", issued by the court following each vote, already does?

On what basis can a governmental institution post the 10 commandments?

To be frank, I've not heard a good argument supporting the posting of the 10 commandments. They keep losing in court, so it's obvious that no one is coming up with a clincher argument.

Keep in mind that I am a very vocal Christian and DO support a 10 commandments initiative in our own local school system. It has lost at every level of court, so far, though.

That is because there is not a good clincher argument.
