Regarding the 2003 Alabama chief justice, this was a good example of PC run amok. While the separation of church and state adheres to America's founding principles, display of the Ten Commandments can be viewed purely from a historical perspective as opposed to a religious one. These commandments form the basis of western civilization's moral codes Eastern societies follow a similar golden rule through their own belief systems.
ReplyDelete44: I agree. Many judges have gone beyond what the establishment clause was designed to prevent--"an establishment of religion" (state run/backed church).
