Moore's opponents aren't suing him to add their own images in, but rather to supress his freedom of expression.

But they would have no case if Moore agreed to include the Hammarabic code, and Solon, and Confucius in his display.

Moore, of course, will not do this,because he believes these expressions to be inferior to Christianity, and therein lies the problem.

The state cannot prefer one religious expression over another.

No, the state can't pass a law respecting one establishment of religion over another.

and therein lies the problem. your problem, that is.

The state cannot prefer one religious expression over another. That's baloney. They do. All the time. There is no content neutral law.

Just what the h*ll do ANY of these belief systems have to do with American law, tradition, and heritage??

Shall the peoples' honoring of their ancestral Founder's Heritage be considered verboten in your 'New World (State) Order'?

So you are all right with him expressing his religious beliefs, just so as long as he admits that his religion is no more valid than other religions which contradict his own.

You seem to have a litmus test against Christians and Jews who don't share your own ecumenicist beliefs serving in government positions. You're as bad as the baby-killers who are attacking Bill Pryor.
