Chief Justice Moore and Foundation File Brief in U.S. Supreme Court Arguing
That Kentucky Ten Commandments Displays Do Not Violate First Amendment Text Former Chief Justice Roy Moore and Foundation attorneys Ben DuPré and Greg Jones, on behalf of the Foundation for Moral Law, Inc., filed a brief in the United States Supreme Court on December 8, 2004, arguing that the text of the First Amendment does not prohibit the Ten Commandments displays in two Kentucky courthouses.
In the "friend of the court" brief (called an amicus curiae brief), Chief
Justice Moore and the Foundation argued to the Supreme Court that because
judges swear an oath to support the written Constitution, the Court should look
at the words in the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment to determine
whether the Ten Commandments displays are constitutional. The Establishment
Clause says that "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of
religion." By putting up Ten Commandments in their courthouses, the Foundation
argued, the Kentucky courthouses were simply not making a law respecting an
establishment of religion. The Foundation urged the U.S. Supreme Court to
reverse the lower courts and hold that the Ten Commandments are a
constitutionally permissible manner of acknowledging God in our public places. Ten Commandments of the Bible is a Covenant:Exodus 34:2828 And he was there with the LORD forty days and forty nights; he did neither eat bread, nor drink water. And he wrote upon the tables the words of the covenant, the ten commandments. Deuteronomy 5:2 2 The LORD our God made a covenant with us in Horeb. Deuteronomy 5:3 3 The LORD made not this covenant with our fathers, but with us, even us, who are all of us here alive this day. Bible Study - What are the Ten CommandmentsTen Commandments of Moses
