>> Telling Tench to basically fuck off is a reasonable response?

I was specific about what I was replying to and it had nothing to do with Ten.

>> At the end of my post was a question you did not address about checks and balances..

I didn't answer it because I thought it totally irrelevant. The Supreme Court is the "check and balance". And if they say, "You can't have the Ten Commandments posted outside a government building", I'm prepared to live with it even thought I don't agree with it.

I believe the Court is totally competent to make these decisions. So, if you want to see if you can sue to get "In God We Trust" off the money, go for it.

This started with tejeks absurd point about trying to get religion out of the lives of people who don't want it. I think those people can just ignore what they don't want to hear and move forward.

The Founding Fathers agreed with me. They were fine with prayer in schools, and certainly would not have objected to the Ten Commandments at a government building.
