@GottaLaff The irony.....The 10 Commandments is almost never displayed in churches. By the way, there should only be one commandment - Thou shalt not be a dick.
@GottaLaff My fear is that they make up a lame bafflegab compromise like "Public schools can post the dominant party's religious material all over the place on their own but the legislature can't require it."
@GottaLaff got to ask - has anyone actually specified WHICH 10 Commandments should be displayed? I mean anyone can draw up a suitable list; it's hardly ricket science:
Thou shalt not force thy views on others.
Thy faith shall be thine to choose.
I could go on...
Yes, scotus’ seditious six most certainly have teed up US precedent from the eighteenth & nineteenth century as well treatises from English common law.
@GottaLaff These types of cases are most interesting to me because they are the kinds of cases that wind up defining the court period if they go the wrong way. As conservative as Roberts' court may be...I'm convinced that he wouldn't want this to be a defining decision. Intra-SCOTUS politics must be pretty insane right now.
@GottaLaff
Discrimination against non Christians? A flagrant disregard for the separation of church and state?
And I have only recently discovered that there is more than one version of the said commandments. Presumably a known problem when translating something from one language into another, then from that translation into a third, etc.
But who chooses which version to display?
