1)    Anybody who doesn't like the Ten Commandments posted in a courtroom, is, as far as I know, free to look in another direction. As far as I can tell, we have not yet been asked to recite them while in court.

2)    The larger point is:   liberals should learn to pick their fights. This one is not worth fighting. When you do, you do nothing but energize the Neanderthals, and give their rabble-rousers more ammunition to do what they did this November. Timing is also important---the well known reactionary Barney Frank, for instance, was trying to slow the pressure towards immediate full-scale homosexual marriage this year. He could see what was coming, but was unable to damp the fervor of his own true believers.   We saw the result in November.
