Decalogue, you say? I call it a fecalogue!

On a related supreme court note, the supreme court today heard two cases: Van Orden v. Perry and McCreary County v. ACLU.

Both of these cases are about monuments that depict the Ten Commandments displayed on public land. Van Orden (from Texas) lost his case, and the monuments were allowed to stay. McCreary County (Kentucky) lost to the ACLU, and have to remove their monument.

The cool thing about these cases is that they are the basis for the moot court problem I've been dealing with in school. In our case, the monument contains the declaration of independence and the ten commandments. Regardless of whatever else is on it... it must be even tackier than these monuments
