Shortly before the November 6th election, Governor Fletcher authorized a historical display in the Capitol. Among the documents includes the Ten Commandments, the Magna Carta, and the Star Spangled Banner grouped around the statue of Abraham Lincoln in the center of the Rotunda.

A federal judge has ruled that the display is constitutional. Unlike the granite Ten Commandments that were previously ordered removed from the Capitol grounds, including the Ten Commandments with other documents is constitutionally permissable.

The question now is the accuracy of its history. At least one error is easy to spot. The display lists two different dates for the adoption of the national motto "In God We Trust"- July 20th and July 30th, 1956. (The correct date is the 30th for you trivia buffs.)

UPDATE: The errors have been repaired. The inaccurate "of the American Revolution is now gone and a period inserted after the word "Patriots".

The display which is grouped around the statues of famous men is nicely framed and several folks were reading the information on them. We heard that there was a take home piece that went with the display, but alas, it was gone. (Maybe for revision?) Anyway, the display won't shatter the foundation of the Capitol, nor will it make saints out of heathens.

Thank goodness for blue pens and white out!
