[http://www.cnn.com/2003/LAW/08/25/ten.commandments/index.html](http://www.cnn.com/2003/LAW/08/25/ten.commandments/index.html) Other Moore supporters filed a lawsuit Monday in federal court in Mobile in a last-ditch bid to prevent the carved stone monument from being moved. They argue that removing the monument would amount to a \*\*government endorsement of a “religion of non-theistic beliefs,” \*\* according to the complaint. ---

Indeed. This seems more like a MPSIMS or Pit thread. ---

Ok. I hear you London\_Calling. Here is my question: What the hell is going on? Why has our country sunk to such a low? We have such bigger issues to deal with and this piece of shit national story. I can’t help but get a little caught up in it. I see civil liberties being stripped by one hand (Ashcroft and the soon to be fully implemented Patriot Act) but this is head story. No where on the [CNN.com](http://CNN.com) coverpages (main & US) is there anything on Ashcroft’s tour to support & persuade the Patriot Act. These people are talking like there civil liberties are being infringed, really c’mon?? They have a lot more to worry about or maybe not because they buy into this “new” vision that constitution and Christianity are inexorably linked. ---

**Moderator’s Note:** Since we already have several active threads on various aspects of this controversy, I’m going to close this rather than try to come up with a new title for it. For debate on the Ten Commandments monument in the Alabama Suprem Court building, and related issues, please see: [Defiant Chief Justice Vows to Keep Ten Commandments Monument](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=204747) [How are the Ten Commandments the moral foundation of our law?](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=206827) [Greek Deity Statue- Violation of Sep. C & S](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=206891) [states rights](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=205254) There have also been several Pit threads on the subject.
