Something to think about..........
« on: March 02, 2005, 05:39:20 PM »
While everyone waits to hear what the Supreme Court will decide on the Ten Commandments issue, this is what I think is funniest about the whole debate (there shouldnt even be one IMO).

If the U.S. Supreme Court eventually decides to ban the display of Ten Commandments symbols from public buildings, it will essentially admit that the court itself is violating the Constitution.

Architectural representations of Moses and/or the 10 Commandments appear three times in the Supreme Court building. Two of these representations show Moses as one of several important lawgivers. In the third, the Commandments appear as an artistic adornment on a set of doors.

Why should it care?  It reversed its own death penalty opinion.

It's all about the context.
