Washington, DC – “It appears that the two Supreme Court decisions on public display of the Ten Commandments are mixed and confusing,” said Traditional Values Coalition Chairman Rev. Louis P. Sheldon today. “These cases only point to the need for us to reverse the vote from a 5-4 decision against religious freedom to 5-4 for our nation’s religious heritage.”

“The Ten Commandments formed the foundation upon which our nation’s legal system was built,” notes Sheldon. “To deny the public display of this important document is to insult the memory of our nation’s Founding Fathers and their belief in God as the giver of our freedoms—not the Supreme Court.”

Rev. Sheldon believes these cases serve as yet two more examples of the need for constitutionalists on the Supreme Court who respect our nation’s religious heritage and who believe in interpreting the Constitution, not inventing new “rights” based upon the liberal ideologies of renegade Justices.

“If Justice Sandra Day O’Connor retires soon, we will have the opportunity to place someone on the court who appreciates and understands the moral and religious foundations upon which America was founded,” said Rev. Sheldon.

1. "The Ten Commandments formed the foundation ..."

"... upon which our nation’s legal system was built."


Um ... no, they didn't. Put down your Bible once in a while and pick up a history book instead. You may learn something. :eyes:

4. Christian heritage?

Consitution of the United States of America is classic Deist document. Founders did believe in Deity but were Deists and not ignorant, inbred Christians like Puritans and others. If they check for Founders' quotes, they didn't care for Christianity as any rational person wouldn't.

2. Gee Lou, I don't feel my religious freedom restricted

But then again, I don't use religion as a cover to be an asshole, so go figure.

3. “To deny the public display of this important

document is to insult the memory of our nation’s Founding Fathers and their belief in God as the giver of our freedoms..."

My guess is that Washington, Jefferson, Adams and Hailton realized that THEY had fought the Revolution. Don't recall anyone having mentioned an appearance by the Almighty Jehovah at any Revolutionary battlefield, in the Continental Congress or the Constitutional Convention.
