Actually the last time a Supreme Court ruling was defied was during the internment of the Japanese American citizens during World War II. I don't know, it could be even more recent than that, but that's the first one that comes to mind. Like I keep saying, go back to the Constitution and determine if the judge is violating theses terms (Congress shall make no law establishing a national religion nor the free practices of). Does it establish a National Church?? Last time I checked, we haven't had any decrees like "In private you may be whatever you want, but in public you must pay omage to *insert whatever religion here* and to this Government." Nor does this monument restrict someone from practicing their own religion, last I checked, my Muslim friends are still worshipping Allah, my Jewish friends are still worshipping Yahweh and waiting for the Messiah to come, and my Atheist friends couldn't give a damn. If Satan had something valuable to contribute to a moral legal system (well, we do have lawyers...) then fine, put something up there where Satan supports the freedom of all peoples and a fair and just law system. So why not put up something and say "Hey, this is where we got our ideas for our legal system from, check it out, it's some good stuff, cuz it's obviously worked for the past two hundred years." The Ten Commandments and the Bible are not just religious rhetoric to be thrown at people at random times. They have a basis for a very good legal system, and that's how most of our government came into being. The three branch system comes from the book of Elijah, most of the laws of the Bible are just laws, and those that we figured out won't really work for our time period, we flushed. I see this as mainly showing and giving credit where credit is due on what values our nation was founded upon.
