Description

If news items were flowers, the Ten Commandments would be a hardy perennial, coming up with reassuring regularity. The reason for this is no mystery. On the one hand, a lot of people, including some public employees and political officeholders, support the idea of displaying the commandments in public places such as classrooms, courthouses, and capitals. On the other hand, doing so is held by most legal experts to violate the separation of church and state required by the First Amendment to the Constitution. The most recent controversy of this kind centered on Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore's refusal to remove from the state judicial building a two-and-a-half ton granite monument inscribed with the decalogue. Eventually, on the order of a federal court, the monument was hauled out and Justice Moore was removed from office. But a CNN-USA Today poll found that 77 percent of those polled disapproved of this ruling.
