You are correct as far as it goes. In my opinion displaying the ten commandments in a local courthouse is not the federal govt's jurisdiction. But displaying it in the a federal courthouse, congress, or in a monument in DC is establishing a religion. Is it just happenstance that the establishment clause comes first? You can quibble about whether displaying it rises to the measure of congress making a law, that is certainly debatable, but the federal govt displaying the religious symbols of any religion is an endorsement of that religion. jb
