Ten Commandments on Government Property

Recently, the Supreme Court made two rulings on the public display of
the Ten Commandments on government property.

One ruling forbid the display of framed copies of the Ten Commandments
on the walls of two rural Kentucky courthouses.

Another ruling rejected the objections against a 6-foot-tall granite
monument on the grounds of the Texas Capitol in Austin, which displayed
the Ten Commandments.

The rulings came three years after an Alabama judge, Roy Moore,
installed a 5,300-pound granite monument depicting the Ten Commandments
in the state's judicial building in Montgomery. Moore's defiance of a
federal court order to remove the monument cost him his job as chief
justice of Alabama's Supreme Court and the monument was wheeled away in
2003.
