What If the Supreme Court Isn't to Blame for Its Lack of Moral Clarity?
By Matt Friedeman

(AgapePress) - The Supreme Court, far from being enlightening on the display of the Ten Commandments, botched it badly by making even constitutional scholars scratch their heads and utter a collective, "Huh?" over two cases handed down this week.

Way to go, Supremes.
.
But why the incoherence? Columnist Bill Murchison made a point that puts the blame for the legal murkiness right where it belongs ... almost.

Says Murchison:
"It strikes me -- correct me if I am wrong -- that cultures, not courts, set constitutional tone; that the incoherence of our church-state jurisprudence proceeds less from the court's incoherence than from society's unwillingness to say what its own will is."

Whose fault? Our fault, intimates the columnist.
But should we be even a bit more particularized with the laser beam of blame since, after all, the issue at hand is the Judeo-Christian tradition handed down from Mount Sinai?
