Moses Image (With 10 Commandments) Adorns U.S. Supreme Court Building
Self ^ | 8/20/2003 | Angkor

Posted on 08/20/2003 2:43 PM PDT by angkor

With regard to today's refusal to hear the case against Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore, the court has at least delayed a legal decision about defacing its own hallowed halls.

It is likely well-known to the justices that the East Pediment of the Supreme Court showcases the image of Moses bearing the two tablets upon which the 10 Commandments are enscribed. In fact, Moses is front and center and indeed the largest figure in the entire sculpture.

Ironically, the Chief Justice's offices are immediately behind this portico.

Moses center stage on the USSC East Pediment, brandishing his illegal "Ten Commandments."

The sculpture, "Justice the Guardian of Liberty" by Herman McNeil contains the following elements (in McNeil's own words):

Law as an element of civilization was normally and naturally derived or inherited in this country from former civilizations. The �Eastern Pediment� of the Supreme Court Building suggests therefore the treatment of such fundamental laws and precepts as are derived from the East. Moses, Confucius and Solon are chosen as representing three great civilizations and form the central group of this Pediment. Flanking this central group� left � is the symbolical figure bearing the means of enforcing the law. On the right a group tempering justice with mercy, allegorically treated. The �Youth� is brought into both these groups to suggest the �Carrying on� of civilization through the knowledge imbibed of right and wrong. The next two figures with shields; Left � The settlement of disputes between states through enlightened judgment. Right � Maritime and other large functions of the Supreme Court in protection of the United States. The last figures: Left � Study and pondering of judgments. Right � A tribute to the fundamental and supreme character of this Court. Finale � The fable of the Tortoise and the Hare.
