A U.S. appeals court today upheld the decision of a lower court in allowing the inclusion of the Ten Commandments in a courthouse display, hammering the American Civil Liberties Union and declaring, “The First Amendment does not demand a wall of separation between church and state.”
…Writing for the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals, Judge Richard Suhrheinrich said the ACLU’s “repeated reference ‘to the separation of church and state’ … has grown tiresome. The First Amendment does not demand a wall of separation between church and state.”
It doesn’t matter that the Supreme Court recently ruled against two very similar displays in nearby counties. The judge said those displays were put up with great public acclaim, while this one was more low-key. I guess he thinks Roy Moore’s 5,000 pound monument is okay too, since Roy sneaked it into the Alabama Judicial Building in the middle of the night.
