No, I'm simply pointing out more information about the display so that you can put it into context. To say "There is a display of Moses with the 10 Commandments at the Supreme Court" makes it sound like a religious display. To say "There is a display of various personages all concerned with law-giving at the Supreme Court" makes a different impression entirely.

The Supreme Court itself has displayed purely religious scriptures, such as Leviticus 25:10 engraved in copper and bronze, circa 1790...
Leviticus 25:10, as incribed upon the Liberty Bell, as displayed in the U.S. Supreme Court chambers at Independence Hall, 1790.
