ACLU Sues County for Obeying 10-Commandments By Jeff Feazell Apr 13, 2005, 06:20 Email This Article Printer friendly page You may not get the meaning of this graphic, but that's okay. It's our right to show it to you nonetheless, CRESCENT CITY, CA - An official ACLU press release reported that Del Norte County was guilty of compliance with seven of the Ten Commandments, including the third, sixth, and seventh Commandments, which forbid murder, adultery, and misuse of the Lord's name. "By not committing these sins, Del Norte County is showing reverence for the Ten Commandments and discriminating against Hindus, Buddhists, Episcopalians, and countless other religious groups that do not hold the Bible sacred," said Mays. ACLU attorneys have filed a civil suit against Del Norte county for the alleged compliance with the Ten Commandments on two counts: the solicitation of a legitimate witness by district attorney Bill Markeson and the closure of the county office on Saturday (considered by certain sects to be the Sabbath day). Chief prosecutor Glenna Mays called these actions "blatant episodes of compliance with the Ten Commandments and religious discrimination of the worst kind." Markeson, who was accused of facilitating the obedience of the ninth Commandment by calling a genuine witness to the stand in a criminal trial last month, called the lawsuit "a transparent and obvious attempt to eradicate religious principles from public policy." "Every government agency should have the freedom to espouse the Christian faith by complying with the Ten Commandments," he said in a press conference Monday. County Manager Ethel Linfield defended the weekly office closure. "America is a religious country, and we have procedures that reflect that," she told reporters. "If special interest groups want to deny our religious freedom by telling us not to close our office on Saturday, we will fight as long as we have to." glossynews.com
