"The Ten Commandments are undoubtedly a sacred religious text, but they are also a foundational document in the development of Western legal codes and culture," Abbott said Thursday. "The Texas monument has stood for over 40 years, and the court's decision affirms that the monument is entirely consistent with the requirements of the U.S. Constitution."

The above argument is based on a comprehensive perspective of US history; not the selective attention, delete parts that don't suite our 'Separation of Church and State' view, which denies the religious philosophy behind the intent of the founding fathers almost completely.
Nah. Just one zealot's opinion. The FF wrote what they thought about religion in the 1st ammendment, i.e. people can practice the religion of their choice, but government can't endorse any religion.
The SC decided a week or so ago to uphold the lower court's decision in the Moore case. So, obviously, they agreed with the lower court's opinion that the Ten Commandments in the court room was a constitutinal violation.
That's a Texas state court where the judges are elected...bla..blah etc.
BZZZZzzt!! WRONG!
