  "The Court persists in its tradition of deliberately misinterpreting the First Amendment's Establishment Clause," Feder complained. "An 'establishment of religion' means a national church - not a crèche in a park at Christmas, not a moment of silent meditation at the start of the school day, and not a public display of the Ten Commandments."

Feder explained," The Court has put itself in a bind - hence its often wildly inconsistent rulings on so-call separation cases, which are often decided on points so fine you'd need an electron microscope to discern them."

In the two decisions announced today, a Decalogue monument on the grounds of the Texas Capitol - one of 17 displays spread over 22 acres - was allowed. While in the Kentucky cases, it declared unconstitutional framed copies of the Ten Commandments on display inside two county courthouses (also camouflaged by secular documents).

"What's the difference?" Feder asked. "Was one constitutional because it was on the outside and the other unconstitutional for being inside?"

Feder observed: "What seemed to particularly enrage the court's majority was a proclamation by the counties that their monuments were intended to emphasize 'America's Christian heritage.' According to the Court, this clearly showed the displays 'religious intent.'"

"America's Christian heritage? Who do the honorable justices think started America? Were the Pilgrims Buddhists, the Puritans Zoroastrians? Was our Constitution written by secular humanists?" Feder inquired.

"The Court's majority continues to promote the great fiction that America just sort of happened. In fact, the greatest nation on earth was the end result of nearly 3,000 years of Judeo-Christian history. If not for the epic encounter at Sinai, there would have been no 13 colonies, no Declaration of Independence, no United States Constitution and no justices sitting in a chamber decorated with a frieze of Moses carrying the Ten Commandments tablets."

Feder called on Christians and Jews to join together to fight for our Biblical heritage.

Jews Against Anti-Christian Defamation was organized to combat anti-Christian bias in the media, Hollywood, the bureaucracy and the judiciary.
