I must say, I don't really mind. I personally am not of the Christian faith, and the fact that the commandments are there doesn't offend me. The problem really comes with Mr Moore's comments. I
don't believe that we must acknowledge the favor of any Almighty God, in fact it says so right in the Constitution.
I don't think that the monuments really need to be removed, as they really don't affect the judicial process or anything related to it. People need to get their panties in a knot about something else. But Mr Moore's arguments, from my point of view, and pardonnez mon Francais, suck. Like, c'mon, what's this:

Um, doesn't the acknowledgment of a deity qualify as a religious statement? I don't think it matters, but Moore really is rubbing me the wrong way on this.
As for my opinion: I'd like the monuments to stay. But, since the Supreme Court has ruled on this, I'm going to accept and live by their decision. Isn't Moore (a Justice?) supposed to support the legal process? Would he refuse to acknowledge a higher court ruling if he made an error? I don't know...
