White House Defends Commandments Displays


The Bush administration on Wednesday urged the Supreme Court to allow Ten Commandments displays on government property, adding a federal view on a major church-state case that justices will deal with early next year.

The government supported a California school district in that case. Now, it is backing two Kentucky counties that had framed copies of the Ten Commandments in their courthouses.

The American Civil Liberties Union sued McCreary and Pulaski counties, claiming the displays were an unconstitutional promotion of religion. The group won.

Justices will hear arguments, probably in February, in the counties' appeal and in a second case involving a Texas homeless man who wants a 6-foot granite monument removed from the state Capitol grounds.

1. Morals, but for thee and not for me
Let's gauge Smirky's commitment to the principles embodied therein.

Honor thy father and thy mother? Nah, "I answer to a higher Father."

Thou shalt not kill? Yah right. The most fun he had as governor of Texas was signing execution warrants.

Thou shalt not bring false witness against thy neighbor? "That's just one a'those EXAGGERATIONS!"

Thou shalt not commit adultery? Why did they insist that CondoLIEzza not have to testify under oath?

Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's ass et al? But oil fields are apparently okay...
