Thou Shalt Have No Demagogues Who Bore Me

'Bama's biggest bigot, Chief Justice Roy Moore, has been told to remove his 5,000 pound carving of the Ten Commandments from the courtroom of the Alabama Supreme Court.

"'This court holds that the evidence is overwhelming and the law is clear that the chief justice violated the Establishment Clause,' Judge Myron H. Thompson of Federal District Court in Montgomery in a crackling opinion, referring to a clause in the First Amendment. The monument is 'nothing less than an obtrusive year-round religious display intended to proselytize on behalf of a particular religion, the chief justice's religion.'"

Seems like the judges on the Ninth Circuit aren't the only ones who understand the plain meaning of the Constitution. I can't wait for those idol-worshippers at the Moonie Times to twist their panties into knots over this one. Judge Thompson, on the other hand, shouldn't wait to get 24-hour armed security.
