"In their hypocrisy, they ignore the fact that there are three depictions of the Ten Commandments and Moses in the U.S. Supreme Court building itself.

References to God abound all over Washington, yet the liberal judges choose to look past these historic acknowledgements of the Creator...
He has a point. If the Ten Commandments in front of the courthouse is a breach of Seperation of Church and State, then all the other mentions of god should be taken away from all forms of Government properties.
thats the ultimate issue.

court houses, schools, pledges ... they're all being de-godded. by the time i have kids, the dollar won't mention god. ... hell(!!), by the time my kids have kids, churches wont mention god.

all these things are ridiculous steps, increasingly inching towards a world that can not offend anyone. pc phrases, leaders, tv shows, tshirts, etc.

how can you have "freedom of religion," then be told how to have it? the "church and state" argument, as far as i know, doesn't hold up, cuz he wasn't forcing the commandments upon anyone anymore than his driving a corolla to the court parking lot was forcing toyota on anyone.

however...

all that said, the bottom line is, if you're an employee, and your boss says to do something... thems the breaks.

if he (or she or they) says no god statues, no bicycle shorts, no eyebrow piercing, no sex changes, no yellow paper usage, or no red sox fans... you have a choice: fall in line or move on.

or, if you want to have yer cake and eat it too, you have to go about things via the proper channels (discussing it, getting a lawyer, awaiting a trial judgement, whatever). if he didn't do that (as a judge, no less) then he's in the wrong, regardless of what his cause is.
