They can waste time on this but NOT address Benton's bill giving our circuit a fourth judge? Asinine. Who cares whether the ten commandments are one the wall of a government building? This doesn't improve education, transportation, or make government smaller or improve one gd thing.

If the Ten Commandments are followed, education and everything else will improve. Tell me which of the Ten Commandments you disagree with. Oh, don't tell me, it's one of the first four.

Where did I say I disagreed with any of them? Why not pass a law that they have to be on every license plate--they'd be a lot more visible that way. I don't think any of the problems in the state stem from citizens not being aware of the ten commandments or not knowing where to find them. I DO think some of the problems stem from politicians wasting time doing things that don't matter when they could be working hard on more difficult, more pressing, and more important issues.

Wow! That is fabulous! So glad to see this. Just one more baby step to get our "Nation Under God" back where it needs to be. Thank you Mr. Benton!

"A description of Lady Justice". She's wearing a blindfold, which is appropriate for Benton and the majority of fellow lawmakers.

If you agree with all the Ten Commandments, why do you have an issue with the bill allowing a display including these? It can't hurt and it might just enlighten people how to properly live their lives. I agree this just might be the first step to making some progress toward getting this nation back on track.

Good Job Rep. Benton!! Hopefully you will share this with our neighbors in Alabama and get Chief Justice Roy Moore back on the bench!
