STEARNS REACTS TO SUPREME COURT DECISIONS ON TEN COMMANDMENTS
Jun 27, 2005
STEARNS INTRODUCED TWO BILLS TO DISPLAY THE TEN COMMANDMENTS IN THE HOUSE, CAPITOL, AND SENATE
Washington, Jun 27, 2005 - "I am pleased that the U.S. Supreme Court decision allows for the public display of the Ten Commandments in a historical context on public land, but I am disappointed about the decision upholding a lower court ruling against the public display of the Ten Commandments in two Kentucky courthouses," stated Rep. Cliff Stearns (R-Ocala)."
"The Ten Commandments are a concise set of values outlining the moral code of our society and our common view of right and wrong," said Stearns. "They are an important part of Judeo/Christian values, but these directives also are a declaration of principles that are the cornerstone of a fair and just society - they are both important religious and historical statements."
