A fight in court over a representation of the biblical Ten Commandments in Arkansas is completely unnecessary, according to officials with First Liberty Institute.
Multiple anti-Christian organizations have sued over a stone monument in the state.
But, officials with First Liberty Institute say the case could be ended immediately.
The Supreme Court already settled this debate. Displays that are part of the history and tradition of America, like the Ten Commandments, are presumed to be constitutional,” said Lea Patterson, counsel at First Liberty.
“Displaying the Ten Commandments—a symbol of law and moral conduct with both religious and secular significance—is a longstanding national tradition as a matter of law. The court should summarily reject these anti-religion activist organizations’ unfounded lawsuits”
Arguments were heard just days ago in U.S. District Court Eastern District of Arkansas, but the judge did not rule immediately.
