text: U.S. Supreme Court on Ten Commandments monument.
  
  Actually, I am glad the Supremes are staying out of it for now.  It would just get a huge backlash if they ruled in they only way it is possible to rule - that the monument has to be removed.  I don't want to fan the flames of religious/Christian rightists.  There are enough political issues to think about right now.  
  
  It will come back to haunt us, though, unless it is soon removed.  The monument was put up in 2011, long after it was clear the courts would not let that sort of thing stand.  Thought is was paid for by private donations, it was allowed to be placed on government land by government officials.   They tried to put some distance between government and religion by adding a marker:  "Any message hereon is of the donors and not the city of Bloomfield."
  
  They gonna say "No" to the next "religious" group that wants to put up some marker of their faith?  How about Muslims, of Satanists, of Hindus?  Should be okay, shouldn't it?
