On the recordMarch 4, 1997
I come before this Chamber today to give my strongest commendations to the Congressman from Alabama [Mr. Aderholt], who is coming forward with a resolution today supporting the placement of the Ten Commandments in a courtroom in his home State of Alabama. A lot of people might ask, why do you need to actually pass a resolution supporting the placement of the Ten Commandments in a courtroom in America, because after all, there are two copies of the Ten Commandments at the Supreme Court of the United States. Right in this Chamber, as you walk out, the same door that the President walks in, above that is a bust of Moses who brought the Ten Commandments down from Mount Sinai. I mean let us face it. Even though the radicals of the past 30 years do not like to admit it, that is a great part, the Ten Commandments are a great part of our American heritage.
