So a group bringing a constitutional issue which concerns government intrusion into the private sector has “tiresome” arguments. I guess he feels someone seeking a stay of execution because of bad evidence or other reasonable claim has a tiresome argument because so many criminals have said they are innocent, too. Or really any defense against anything because he’s probably heard it all before. Or does this mean he decided the case before hearing it since he didn’t want to hear the same old arguments against how he ruled?
Either way, time to yank this judge’s robes off and give them to someone who isn’t so tired. And more “reasonable.”
Commandments display is upheld
A federal appeals court has upheld a display of the Ten Commandments alongside other historical documents in the Mercer County, Ky., courthouse.The judge who wrote the opinion blasted the American Civil Liberties Union, which challenged the display, in language that echoed the type of criticism often directed at the organization.
Judge Richard Suhrheinrich’s ruling said the ACLU brought “tiresome” arguments about the “wall of separation” between church and state, and it said the organization does not represent a “reasonable person.”
In my Ten Comments, I was just joking, poking that is, a little pun.
Except for that one about my first wife, that one would be serious fun.

I think I might have met your first wife. Is she very disagreeable?
I just want to point out that NOT ALL EVANGELICALS want to put the Ten Commandments in public places. I’m one and I don’t.
As a devout Christian I WELCOME A STRICT SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE… for the sake of the church! The last thing I want if for my church to end up looking like the dull state-run churches of Europe. Of course I also welcome it because I believe in a secular society.
(Since civic law has it’s roots in religious law, I could imagine some place for the Ten Commandments in some exhibit as long as it doesn’t specifically endorse Christianity. )
So when you reads stories like these, just remember, that these Evengelicals don’t even represent all evangelicals, let alone all Christians.
