COMMANDMENTS BACK ON DISPLAY

Alabama Governor Bob Riley has placed a Ten Commandments plaque on display in Montgomery:
The state Historical Commission installed the panel display in the old Supreme Court library room in the Capitol. Riley said it is similar to displays in the U.S. Supreme Court and the U.S. Capitol and it has the blessing of Attorney General Bill Pryor....

The display includes not only the Ten Commandments but also the Magna Carta, the Mayflower Compact and the Declaration of Independence, all part of the foundations of American law.

Chief Justice Roy Moore isn't pleased, however: "He said putting other documents with the commandments denied the greatness of God."
