Ten commandments

What could possible be sillier than this:Christian Groups Plan More Monuments. The issue that distinguishes the Supreme Court's two recent decisions on posting of religious materials in public places is the question of intent: given the totality of the circumstances, does the posting manifest an intent to promote religion. If so, then the display is improper. So, the Right goes out a promises to erect more monuments, thereby demonstrating exactly the intent that is fatal. The just don't get it: they can not use the instrumentalities of government to promote religion.
