“I have here a dollar bill that says ``In God we trust.'' Behind the Speaker it says ``In God we trust.'' This finite example, these examples provide tangible proof of the traditional cooperation of church and state. I say to the folks on this side, the Ten Commandments hang currently on the wall of the U.S. Supreme Court in a frieze. In fact the very chamber in which oral arguments on this case were heard is decorated with a notable and permanent, not seasonal, symbol of religion, Moses with the Ten Commandments. In order to preserve the religious principles on which our Nation was founded, let us demonstrate today to the Nation our belief that the Ten Commandments are a cornerstone of a fair and just society. Mr. Speaker, John Knox, the Scottish religious reformer, once wrote: ``a man with God is always in the majority.'' We are a Judeo-Christian society. It is time we rose in support of it. Judge Roy Moore's courtroom illustrates his commitment to the tenets of the Ten Commandments. I urge my colleagues to support our Nation's founding principles and individual liberty by passing this resolution.”
