The phrase "Love your God and keep His commandments" is a summary of the what the 10 Commandments are about. How is that irrelevant on a statue of the 10 Commandments? “front and center with a blatantly irrelevant religious message tacked on the bottom.”

I am too. The TX case didn't bother me one bit, as the monument was in proper context. Jeff,

They are practically asking for a lawsuit! Putting the ten commandments at a court house in honor of their influence upon our laws is one thing.

It's undeniable that the ten commandments have significant place in legal history, but I doubt that place is "front and center with a blatantly irrelevant religious message tacked on the bottom."

But, some coverage is better than none.
