Seperation of <i>what</i>?

rantChief Justice of Alabama, Roy Moore, installed a monument of the Ten Commandments over two years ago in the lobby of his court room. After complaints by a few people, a law suit was brought to the US District courts. Judge Myron Thompson then ordered that the CJ Moore remove the monument from the courts, but instead the Moore appealed to the United States Supreme Court.

The US Supreme Court refused to hear the case, because they are letting the minority push them around and are too afraid to hear the case.

This is not an argument of someone trying to force a religion onto another person. This is simply a case of a man putting up a monument to recognize the Ten Commandments as the basis of our laws and our legal system. The argument from the "Left" is the same argument we have heard year after year... "Separation of church and state!" Separation of church and state... where did that come from? What is that? The Liberals say it is in the Constitution, and they are right, it is found there... in the Constitution of the former Soviet Union! (Note the word "former".)
There is no where in the US Constitution in which this terminology is used. The only thing the "Left" has to base their claim on is the line "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof".

When we go back to the facts I stated in the beginning, you realize we are talking about a Chief Justice of Alabama, not the United States Congress. Furthermore, you see that we are talking about a Monument of the Ten Commandments, not legislation that is establishing a religion. When you actually go back and look at what they are arguing, you see they have absolutely nothing to base their claims on. This case should have never made it past a hearing, it is open and shut. After all, latest polls show that 60%-70% of Alabamians want the Monument to stay. Where is the problem?
