Interesting that it was lawyers that found the commandments "offensive". Guess it was because their profession requires them to break so many of them on a regular basis. Some times TL, I just cannot stand those in your chosen field of expertise. *sigh* Exactly how is having a list of the 10 commandments on display equated to the government "Mandating a State Sponsored Religion"?
Ammendment the first!: CONGRESS shall make no laws respecting an establishedment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press, or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
Nothing in there about displaying the commandments...no Gongressional involveent, no laws made....just a simple display.
