10 Commandments, 8-fold path, 5 Pillars of Wisdom, 4 Noble Truths and a Partridge in a Pear Tree

Legal blogging is the purview of my esteemed chum over at Declarations and Exclusions, but I was impressed by the Supremes quick decision today not to hear Judge Roy Moore's appeal on the 10 Commandments monument removal controversy in the Alabama courthouse.

The CNN article featured this quote which tickled my fancy...

"Even if they should remove this monument -- and God forbid they do -- they'll never be able to remove it from our hearts," said the Rev. Greg Dixon of Indianapolis Baptist Temple.

To which I say, you are absolutely correct, Reverend Greg, that is where they belong, in your hearts, but not in the courtroom.

One blogger (whose identity escapes me, or I would be gracious enough to link to him) noted that this imbroglio could be ended very quickly by the placement of a monument to the 5 Pillars of Islam in the selfsame courthouse. You would see them both removed faster than you could say Separation of Church and State.
