It's okay to have a 6 foot statue of the Ten Commandments outside a public building (Texas State Capital) but it's not okay for the Ten Commandments to be hung inside a public building (Kentucky Courtroom).

With the exception for the USSC, that is. It's okay there!!

This is the worst court I have seen in my lifetime. Every decision is a 5-4 decision. How can nine people reading the very same Constitution have such differing views on what it says? Words have meaning. They mean no more nor less than what they say. So long as judges begin with that understanding, there is little chance of such differing views, as we currently have on this court. In BOTH cases, it's either establishment of religion or it isn't. Which one is it? This court decided to slice the baby in two and give each side one half of a dead child.

This is certainly one goof up by Ronald Reagan: the appointment of Sandra Day O'Conner to the USSC. Can't believe she sided with the liberals on the Kentucky ruling. You are right: it makes no sense.
