Nobody has taken Alabama’s chief justice to task for the design of his two-and-a-half ton,
granite monument to the Ten Commandments. In fact, not one of the dozen or
so news stories I’ve seen about his refusal to remove the
monument from the state judicial building mentions the
quality of the design or the identity of the artist who made it.
I guess it’s not a question of artistic taste. The chief justice says his refusal is based on an
elementary issue: “Can the state acknowledge God?” (See
the videos.) Since a majority of Americans believes you can’t be moral unless you believe in
God, it’s time for an Alabama recall of the Court of the
Judiciary that suspended him — right? Meantime, does anybody know who designed the
monument? I’m all ears. And please don’t say it’s Moses. The man was not a Christian.
