As you walk up the steps to the building which houses the Supreme Court you can
see near the top of the building a row of the world's law givers and each one is
facing one in the middle who is facing forward with a full frontal view. It
is Moses and the Ten Commandments.
As you enter the Supreme Court courtroom, the two huge oak doors have the
Ten Commandments engraved on each lower portion of each door.
As you sit inside the courtroom, you can see on the wall right above where
the Supreme Court judges sit a display of the Ten Commandments.
James Madison, the fourth president, known as "The Father of Our
Constitution" made the following statement "We have staked the
whole of all our political institutions upon the capacity of mankind for
self-government, upon the capacity of each and all of us to govern ourselves, to
control ourselves, to sustain ourselves according to the Ten Commandments of
God."
Patrick Henry, that patriot and Founding Father of our country said, "It
cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation was
founded not by religionists but by Christians. Not on religion but
on the Gospel of Jesus Christ"
Every session of Congress begins with a prayer by a paid preacher whose
salary has been paid by the taxpayers since 1777.
Fifty-two of the 55 founders of the Constitution were members of the established
orthodox churches in the colonies.
Thomas Jefferson worried about that the Courts would overstep their authority
and instead of interpreting the law would begin making law.
An oligarchy -- the rule of few over many.
The very first Supreme Court Justice, John Jay, said, "Americans should
select and prefer Christians as their rulers."
How
then, have we gotten to the point that everything we have done for 200 years in this country is now suddenly wrong and
unconstitutional?
