9. My prediction: the 10 Commandments will stay b/c of SC will equate
the display with Christmas creches on public property. The TC will be seen as "historical", "ceremonial", and (dare I say it?)"legal" b/c of their rules. And the SC will either find that there are other displays that will "blunt" the religious message or will open up courthouses to "equal access" expression of all religions and all messages in the name of the First Amendment.

I'm looking at the SC precedence of the Establishment Clause since Renquist took control, and the above cases will have a lot of influence.

One thing I am sure about: if the SC does rule in favor of the TC in front of court houses, Roy Moore will have his slab on a cart, gassed up and ready to move it back into the Alabama Supreme Court five minutes later.
