Or -- segment tonight if you visit the Supreme Court you'll notice the ten commandments on display.

Traditionally the United States has been defined as -- Judeo Christian nation that is we base our laws on religious tradition.

What is right what is wrong.

But now federal judge Michael -- Penske suggesting that the ten commandments be reduced to six.

Here and -- to explain to go to worries -- -- encryption costs are because of what.

Exactly is the is the legal case surrounding -- -- bands he's ruled island -- -- -- At the thought of only six commandment must be teed off lets you know that health part of it would be very teed off yet -- -- obviously okay so in Virginia Giles county school board being sued by -- student and the ACLU.

Because they have the ten commandments posted with also the declaration of the independence and the bill of rights all right so they had no -- where it's it's it's a school they haven't posted on the grounds of the school as part of the problem now here's affect.

If the school's argument is that they have it there for religious purposes course -- -- let us -- has the case it's not they're saying that they can still have a fair and the -- -- religious because they have other historical documents the ACLU feels differently and they say look we're protected by part of the First Amendment that means that we -- get rid of it I got really good guys so the judge your best he says if you get rid of the first four.

You shot I have other gods before me shall not make yourself a great an image you shall not take the lord name of the lord in Dane.

And remember the Savvis data keep it holy if you get rid of those four that you can have the other six because they don't refer to god that's put this pin headed judges -- -- And what's interesting about -- -- -- that his suggestion that we get rid of the first four commandments is blasphemous I mean not only is -- angry that I would have to -- -- angry at what did you think he has a way of -- care about -- you -- it's blasphemous but even not considering he is a judge who was there to decide manslaughter and not God's law but he's got to decide right -- wrong legal vs their legal.

May help make a decision and not try to compromise but you're judge -- no absolutely not and I.

Present -- my responsibility and think she -- more to cut the baby and and I don't know maybe you ought to just decide what is legal.

But -- is it is there validity to the argument that this is a historical display.

Because we are Judeo Christian tradition although I think the ACLU would even argue that now that's how crazy it's all got.

In your opinion as a judge is this a historical display that can stand.

It can stand because of this surrounded by the declaration of independence a star spangled look like it's like a Christmas tree up garden activity CB Gavin menorah next to it is that we got yeah you you touched on some good points.

That it's a Judeo Christian document this old testament remember that.

This is not -- so cool is it really offending.

It's -- defending the ACLU because there atheists it don't they don't want any it.

It's -- I think this judge is pandering once again to political correctness is not what will we -- -- -- -- we can't read his mind we don't know what he's saying what would certainly what he -- saying I'm two point society where we're gonna get rid of four of the command well look it's not about for the commandments about how the country was founded.

And -- Ganske in the ACLU.

Are claiming we're not a Judeo Christian country that was never the intent of the founders then why -- we have in the Supreme Court Moses movement and from.

Right in the united likes Italian court building -- -- we have these ten commandments and at the end of the day you've got the judges appointed by Obama.

Intolerance toward christianity when it is very much part of the story and if I.

Jihad christianity is as you pointed -- this is Moses he was Jewish all the way and what he was dead it's today that it's doing.

I mean playback and it wasn't an unknown and I -- not good but at the same time this judge needs to make a decision does yeah.

Credit for how easy hey hey hey hey you know made a decision later late and political -- Easy thing these guys get a -- -- all over the country now this is absurd it isn't -- -- -- He's doing the politically correct what's cool I'll tell you know why -- this.

Saying he did this to be in your face to every religious person in the country that's why this guy did it he's not -- -- basket he said you know what.

I'm gonna tweak all of stupid believers out of respect for them.

I'm gonna say I guess that's -- who doesn't believe it's gonna.

Happen it's gonna happen.

Will see you win well then you're well yeah.

Austin will make this suggestion yes.

And I got their money.

Just say you let it called George I -- have to get back here and sixty cents -- mark that's not enough that I'm this was -- probably let.

Directed at people of -- another example of our secular system going.

And a -- we don't have any respect for you that -- what are kids I I exactly I know you don't hear what exactly would advance he's leaving no.
