MEANWHILE IN TEXAS...

A federal court has ruled that Texas can keep its Ten Commandments monument:

The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has affirmed the state's position that the placement of the Ten Commandments monument on the Capitol grounds is not an unconstitutional attempt to establish state-sponsored religion.

Thomas Van Orden, a homeless man living in Austin, had sued to have the monument removed, calling it an endorsement of Judeo-Christian beliefs by the state government.

The state countered that the 6-foot tall red granite monument is more historical than religious, with key segments of law founded on the moral and cultural ethics provided by the commandments.

And a suggestion for Mr. Van Orden: perhaps finding employment and maintaining a home would provide enough of interest to keep you occupied instead of leaving you open to manipulation from liberals who care about you so deeply that they're willing to exploit you as the plaintiff in a test case.
