[QUOTE]Originally posted by Woodside Kid: [QB] From perusing the articles about the case in the current issues of [i]Time[/i] and [i]Newsweek[/i], it seems that Justice Moore, with some helpers, installed the sculpture in the Alabama Judicial Building's rotunda after business hours sometime in 2001. After becoming a circuit court judge in 1992, he held prayers in his courtroom and hung a hand-carved plaque with the Commandments on its wall. According to one district attorney who used to practice in his court, Moore made scrapbooks with laminated newspaper clippings dealing with his Ten Commandments battles. During his campaign for the chief justice's seat, he touted himself as the "Ten Commandments judge." [i]Time[/i] quotes him as saying, "I will never, never deny the God upon whom our laws and country depend." Given all this, I don't think his actions are merely part of some technical exercise in legal theory. Neither article has anything to say about the associate justices' personal religious views or their take on the separation of church and state. [/QB][/QUOTE]
