Groups Seek Ten Commandments Protections
Mon Nov 17, 8:20 PM ET
WASHINGTON - Conservative religious groups began a petition drive
Monday to demand that Congress legislate to protect displays of the
Ten Commandments in public buildings.
The group's leaders mounted the drive in response to last week's
ouster of Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore for his refusal to obey a
federal judge's order to remove a 2 1/2-ton monument to the Ten
Commandments from the Alabama Supreme Court. An ethics panel of
Alabama judges removed him from office.
"God often does his best work right after a crucifixion. What we saw
with justice Roy Moore was a crucifixion. God will vindicate this
man," said Vision America President Rick Scarborough at a press
conference where he announced the petition drive.
Scarborough, with former Republican presidential candidates Alan Keyes
(news - web sites) and Gary Bauer (news - web sites), pledged to
gather millions of signatures over the next year to pressure Congress
to protect religious displays. The Christian Broadcasting Network and
the Family Research Council are also signed on to promote the petition.
Scarborough said judicial decisions to remove the phrase "under God"
from the pledge of allegiance, and to censure Moore, have built a
nationwide Christian movement against liberal federal judges.
The petition contends the Ten Commandments constitute the foundation
of American law, and expressions of faith are under assault by the
judicial branch. It asks Congress to pass legislation to protect
public displays of the Ten Commandments and to allow nondenominational
prayer in public schools.
Elliot Mincberg, legal director for liberal judicial group People for
the American Way, said religious displays already are protected as
long as they do not promote a particular faith.
"The greatest engine of freedom of religion and of religious free
expression that has ever been devised is the constitutional protection
of the freedom of religion and the separation of church and state," he
said.
The religious organizations plan to march on Washington in September
2004, where they said they will present their petitions to Congress.

Idiots. Did you see the report over the weekend about the moron who
wants a Constitutional amendment declaring that *GAWD!* exists? I'll bet
he gets some twit in Congress to actually submit it, too...
