Gary Bauer's End of Day Report

The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals just ruled that a Texas law requiring displays of the Ten Commandments in public school classrooms is constitutional. The Texas law and another in Louisiana had been blocked by lower court judges. Supreme Court rulings on religious liberty in recent years have been absolutely clear. I have every reason to believe that if this case ends up before the high court, a majority of justices will affirm the Texas law. This really shouldn’t be controversial at all. The Pilgrims were devout Christians. Our Founding Fathers declared that our rights come from our Creator—the God of the Bible. The “separation of church and state” is nowhere to be found in our Constitution.
