No they didnt.
yes they did.
No they didnt.
There's no irony what so ever.
I argued the Constitution was not a " living breathing document" and that the words that make up the Constitution have never changed their meaning.
There's only one meaning for the words " Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof..."
The Judge and those who agree with his activist ruling are wrong to assert that the posting of the Ten Commandments in a Public building equates to new laws being passed by Congress supporting that religion.
And yes, the judges ruling is a attempt to amend the Constitution by redefining the clear and distinct definition of the words that make up the establishment clause.
What historic precedence does Satanism have in America?
That is the Bill of Rights not the Ten Commandments. That is historical fact easily proven. http://www.supremecourt.gov/about/symbolsoflaw.pdf

I get so sick of this idiotic crap. Nowhere in the Constitution is this judge's decision supported. No law has been passed by Congress that gives preference of one religion over any other in this case. This is nothing more than some dumbass getting all butt-hurt over the Ten being displayed and deciding to sue to get it removed.
That it is a Federally recognized religion and that due to the 1st ammendment to the constitution goverment may not make preferencial judgements of one religion over another.
You need to read the amendment, that's not what it says. It also protects the practices of religion. The whole business is bull****. Displaying the 10 commandments has nothing to do with any law.
Sure.... personally I agree.... but the the Satanists need to be allowed to present their speech as well if others are allowed or none at all. Open Pandora's box be preparared to reap the whirlwind.
I haven't heard them say they want to put up a monument on that site, have you?

You did look at the figures around him right? Notice anyone missing? There isnt a Jesus on that wall. Nor are the ten commandments written out they are represented as slabs with roman numerals on them.
Zeus Father of Gods and Men; God of Heavens and Fertility is in the Great Hall of the Supreme Court Building. The tortuous and the hare are on the building as well as Confucius.
But really the Supreme Court Building has zero to do with the founders; it was finished in 1935.

you better look again, that is Moses holding the 10 commandments,...Moses is the law giver..... he holds 2 tablets.
Moses is also displayed at the court, with him sitting and both the tablets on each side.
we were not discussing the supreme court and the founders, but that some laws and ldeas of the founders, reflect Christianity.
One official Supreme Court document, he found, cited a letter from sculptor Adolph A. Weinman that said the “pylon” carved with Roman numerals I to X “symbolizes the first ten amendments to the Constitution.” But the letter was anomalous; it didn’t have a number of certifying marks that were typical of others.
So he continued looking and after calling in some assistance in his hunt for evidence, he found a 1975 official U.S. Supreme Court Handbook, prepared under the direction of Mark Cannon, administrative assistant to the chief justice. It said, “Directly above the Bench are two central figures, depicting Majesty of the Law and Power of Government. Between them is a tableau of the Ten Commandments…”

There isnt any religious representation. And you are the one that brought up the founders. ANd the photo that I talked about was the bill of rights. ANd I acknowledged Moses and the tablets representing the ten commandments. But the commandments themselves show up nowhere in or on the entire building.
And most glaringly I provided you with a link to the official supreme court site that explains that the bill of rights and all of the figures in the sculptures. Moses is from the old testament not the new testament, having Moses there doesnt at all represent Christianity at all. What isnt there is anything to do with the Christian faith. Zero reflection of anything Christian shows your willingness to lie and try and rewrite history.
Moses was not Christian and can never represent a Christian influence

So whats your point? Theres a statue of John Marshal on the grounds does that mean that along with the Torah, Zeus, Confucius, John Marshall reflects where our laws came from?
"...In a suit brought by the American Civil Liberties Union of Kentucky, the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit held that the displays—in this case, a Ten Commandments display at the McCreary County courthouse in Whitley City, Kentucky and a Ten Commandments display at the Pulaski County courthouse—were unconstitutional.
The appeal from that decision, argued by Mathew Staver of Liberty Counsel, urged reformulation or abandonment of the "Lemon test" set forth in Lemon v. Kurtzman, which has been applied to religious displays on government property and to other Establishment Clause issues.
The Supreme Court ruled on June 27, 2005, in a 5-4 decision, that the display was unconstitutional....".
you seem to be off track, I am responding to your post #229 ..not 223
no its not the bill of rights,...as you can see its a tablet....the 10 amendments did not come from tablets.
now when it comes to addressing you post 223. the declaration of independence is u.s. law...it us code.
the declaration speaks of god, and his divine Providence
" And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.
as to the declaration of being law, it is also used in u.s. laws, like the enabling acts of the u.s.
well its simple people of the bible, are in our government buildings / institutions..
Yet none of them are actually Christian nor represented as for religious reasons. So claiming a Christian influence isnt going to be found with any figures on government buildings. Divine Providence isnt at all viewed as just being a Christian thing. "May divine providence bless us with enough courage and enough determination to perceive within ourselves this holy German space." - Adolf Hitler, Speech, March 24, 1933
So define the declaration of independence as a law? What did the declaration of independence do originally? What "Title" of US code law is the declaration of independence under? Oh wait it is in the "Front Matter" isn't it? The Front matter though are not law's oops you fail.
"Pages of a book that precede the first page of the text, and may include the half title, frontspiece (illustration usually facing the first page or title page), title page, dedication, table of contents, acknowledgements (or list of contributors), list of illustrations, and list of tables. Front matter is usually printed last to allow for final adjustments, and is often numbered in Roman numerals instead of Arabic numerals used for the main text."
What is front matter? definition and meaning

The pages preceding the main text of a book, including the title, table of contents, and preface.
