now this is interesting...

The chief justice of the Alabama Supreme Court said Thursday he will not remove a Ten Commandments monument from the state judicial building, defying a federal court order to remove the granite monument.

okay...we have separation of church and state...and that's a good thing.

but does this extend to attacking art?

if, in fact, this is a 'monument' it is probably carved from granite, making it an artistic representation of one of the first CODES OF LAW. which is why it is in the JUDICIAL CENTER....duh!

I would suggest that Moore erect a similar monument with Hammurabi's code upon it.

Maybe the Supreme Court can realize that the ten commandments is not an endorsement of any particular religion, but rather an example of an ancient legal system (one from which common law is derived).
