That's nothing. The US Supreme Court, who refused to hear this case, has their own Ten Commandments and Moses statues and artwork in their halls for public viewing.

AFAIK, the SCOTUS has not refused to hear the case, they refused to stop the removal - they refused to (I don't know the correct legal language) do a stay? (I feel like a simpleton - I know there's a proper word!) IOW, they may hear the case but they wouldn't step in to prevent the current judgement from happening.

Yes, and it's displayed as part of a mosaic of law featuring Confucius, and Solon and others. In fact, the 10 Commandments are posted in public buildings all over this country with nary a peep out of the courts.

Now, you'd think Roy would have consulted someone on how to display the 10 Commandments properly, wouldn't you?

This is about Roy Moore, and Roy Moore's view of Christianity and his disdain for every other form of religious expression.
