Supreme Court Is Surrounded By The

Ten Commandments!

 On the east Pediment, located at the rear entrance of the U.S. Supreme Court you can see near the top of the building a row of the world's law givers and each one is facing one in the middle who is facing forward with a full frontal view - it is Moses and he is holding the Ten Commandments!

As you enter the Supreme Court courtroom, the two huge oak doors have the Ten Commandments engraved on each lower portion of each door.

In three spots, as part of larger sculptural groups, Moses is depicted with tablets: in the North Courtroom frieze, in the East Pediment and in one of the Great Hall metopes.  

As you sit inside the courtroom, on the North Wall there is a Courtroom Frieze showing the history and development of the law and near the center is Moses holding the Ten Commandments

As you sit inside the courtroom, you can see the East wall, right above where the Supreme Court judges sit, a display of the Tablets of Stone – held by a figure known as “The Majesty of Law”  The tablets, a symbol of the Ten Commandments have the symbols I-X on them - in this singular case the sculptor meant those numbers to remind us of the first ten amendments to the Constitution - the Bill of Rights 

That Moses the Lawgiver is portrayed twice in the Great Hall metopes, one Medallion on the west Façade and once on the Frieze with the Ten Commandments

Tablets with the Roman numerals I - X appear on the support frame of the Courtroom‘s bronze gates and on the lower, interior panels of the Courtroom doors;

There are a number of different sculptures and Friezes in the Supreme court that depict Moses and directly or indirectly picture the Law.

There are Bible verses etched in stone all over the Federal Buildings and Monuments in Washington, D.C.

James Madison, the fourth president, known as "The Father of Our Constitution" made the following statement "We have staked the whole of all our political institutions upon the capacity of mankind for self-government, upon the capacity of each and all of us to govern ourselves, to control ourselves, to sustain ourselves according to the Ten Commandments of God."

Patrick Henry, that patriot and Founding Father of our country said, "It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation was founded not by religionists but by Christians, not on religions but on the Gospel of Jesus Christ".

Every session of Congress begins with a prayer by a paid preacher, whose salary has been paid by the taxpayer since 1777.

Fifty-two of the 55 founders of the Constitution were members of the established orthodox churches in the colonies.

Thomas Jefferson worried that the Courts would overstep their authority and instead of interpreting the law would begin making law.... an oligarchy.... the rule of few over many.

The very first Supreme Court Justice, John Jay, said, "Americans should select and prefer Christians as their rulers."

 How, then, have we gotten to the point that everything we have done for 220 years in this country is now suddenly wrong and unconstitutional?
