Whereas Judge Roy S. Moore, a lifelong resident of Etowah County, Alabama, graduate of the United States Military Academy with distinguished service to his country in Vietnam, and graduate of the University of Alabama School of Law, has served his country and his community with uncommon distinction;
Whereas another circuit judge in Alabama has ordered Judge Moore to remove a copy of the Ten Commandments posted in his courtroom and the Alabama Supreme Court has granted a stay to review this matter;
Whereas the Ten Commandments have had a significant impact on the development of the fundamental legal principles of Western Civilization; and
Whereas the Ten Commandments set forth a code of moral conduct, observance of which is universally acknowledged to promote respect for our system of laws and the good of society: Now, therefore, be it Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), That it is the sense of Congress that--
(1) the Ten Commandments are a declaration of fundamental principles that are the cornerstones of a fair and just society; and
(2) the public display, including the display in government offices and courthouses, of the Ten
Commandments should be permitted.
