If the justification is “If you want to respect the rule of law,” he said, “you’ve got to start from the original law giver, which was Moses.” then oops! The Code of Hammurabi predates the Bible by hundreds of years. Guess we'll have to hang hieroglyphics in all the classrooms.

I remember the first time we heard about Roy Moore and the old conservatives at my church were in love with what he was doing with the Ten Commandments.

This was over 20 years ago.

Anyway even if the 10 commandments had legitimate secular value it's impossible to pick a version in a neutral way because the sectarian factions believe in different methods of counting.
