Via Eugene Volokh comes this insightful commentary:
State Rep. Ron Forster, who shares with White a district that includes sections of north Whitfield and Murray counties, said he is “absolutely” in favor of passing a law saying local governments may display the commandments.
“The Constitution only says the government shall not sponsor a religion,” Forster, R-Ringgold, said.
Asked about opponents’ argument that atheists or those who practice other religions feel they will be discriminated against when they see the commandments in government buildings, he said it “carries no weight.”
If a judge or public official doesn’t believe in God, “then that person is more likely to be corrupt,” Forster said.
Yes indeed–the corrupt ungodly. Here In Tennessee we already tried to take care of that. Hence, Art. IX, Sec. 2 of the Constitution:
No person who denies the being of God, or a future state of rewards and punishments, shall hold any office in the civil department of this state.
Just ignore Art. I, Sec. 4. or any similar provisions.
