Just recently the Anchorage Daily News editorial staff published an opinion on Judge Roy Moore and the Ten Commandments.

First, to back up Judge Moore's opinion on the matter, the editorial staff should read the Affidavit in Support of the Ten Commandments

Then the editorial staff should familiarize itself with the opinion from the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.

The idea that displaying the Ten Commandments violates the separation of church and state, ignores the historical relevance the Commandments played in law, both good and bad.

It would have been an entertaining argument to hear the ACLU argue before the U.S. Supreme Court that the tablets being displayed in a public building violates the separation of church and state, when Moses and/or the 10 Commandments appear three times in the architectural embellishment of the U.S. Supreme Court building.

There is no place in separating a part of our history by taking it away or hiding it from our knowledge. Moreover, the Ten Commandments where placed back in the Alabama Court rotunda.

In effect, Judge Roy Moore ( an elected Judge), was vindicated regardless of what those opposed to Judge Moore say.
