I still treat it primarily as a matter of courtesy and bullying.

On both sides. The placers may have been discourteous to put it up, but the objectors are discourteous to sue to have it removed. The placers maybe have, though I don't see it, intended to bully people walking by the monument, but clearly the judge ordering its removal is bullying those who want it kept. Both sides should be ordered into permanent time out.

My unhappiness is that the divisive figures of Roy Moore and his supporters are obscuring the much more serious issues involved. As are the shrill and strident opponents who seem to think this little monument in the rotunda of a relatively obscure state has the power to topple the constitution and destroy our society.

They should all chill.

And if the media would take all the cameras away and not let any of those folks on TV, the whole thing would just fade away.
