A free speech/establishment clause debate that is quite the amazing
feat of mental gymnastics.

In short,Pleasant Grove, Utah has a city park that has a 10
Commandments monument in it. It was donated (in part) by Cecile B.
DeMille to promote the Ten Commandments movie. That's all well and
good but now another religious organization called Summum, who believe
in mumification, pyramids and hairless blue aliens, wants to donate
and erect a monument celebrating their Seven Aphorisms that they say
were given to Moses but then Moses decided people weren't ready for
them yet and went with the 10 Commandments instead.

So, now the the Supreme Court has to figure out the question: Should
Summum be able to put the monument in the park alongside the 10
Commandments? If not, should the 10 Commandments be allowed to remain?

The arguments are as fascinating as the oddness of the subject matter.
Anytime religion and law get together it seems to me that the results
end up being bizarre.
