WASHINGTON, June 27 /Christian Wire Service/ -- The Christian Coalition of America condemns today's decision by the Supreme Court today to not allow the 10 Commandments in courthouses by a 5-4 margin. Justice Sandra Day O'Connor joined the liberals on the court in not allowing the 10 Commandments to be displayed amongst other foundations of American law in their decision on the McCreary County vs. ACLU of Kentucky." Justice Anthony Kennedy joined the 3 conservatives on the bench who issued a strong dissent.
Robert Combs, President of the Christian Coalition of America said, "
After over 40 years of tyrannical decisions emanating from the United States Supreme Court and most of the Supreme Court justices being selected by Republican presidents during that time, it is long past time for justices who are being appointed to the Supreme Court to respect the United States Constitution.
Today's Supreme Court decision on the 10 Commandments showed once again that the nation's top court is completely out of step with the American people. This must change. Today's flawed 10 Commandments decision by the Supreme Court makes the confirmation of strict constructionists to that court more important than ever. "
Recently the Christian Coalition announced the formation of its Judicial Task Force with chairmen in every state in the country, created to ensure that the U.S. Senate allows
fair "up or down" votes on all nominees to the federal judiciary. In anticipation of a pending vacancy on the U.S. Supreme Court and in light of past Senate obstruction and filibusters, it is critical that pro-life and pro-family Americans speak up and have their voices heard in this process.
