"SAN FRANCISCO - The federal appeals court that ruled the Pledge of Allegiance was an unconstitutional endorsement of religion is being sued for allegedly displaying the Ten Commandments on its seal and courthouses.
The case was brought by an attorney who was admitted to practice before the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in June. In his lawsuit against the San Francisco-based court, Ryan Donlon said the certificate admitting him contains the court's seal which unlawfully contains what he believes is a tablet object representing the Ten Commandments."
It probably doesn't make any difference, but this attorney also believes the government placed a radio transmitter in the seal that can read his thoughts and send them to the Attorney General's office. How absurd can we get? Are we going to comb through every government building to determine if any architectual components form a cross? Since Jesus was crucified on a "tree", should we ban trees from governmental property, since they could be a indirect support of religion? Where is the sanity?
