By:  Ellis                                                        H.R. No. 105



R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, In Alabama, Chief Justice Roy Moore has reverently 
displayed, in the rotunda of the state judicial building, a 
monument to the Ten Commandments on whose moral foundation our 
country was founded; and
	WHEREAS, The monument was removed from public view on the 
order of a federal judge, under penalty of law, and Chief Justice 
Moore now faces judicial misconduct complaints because of his 
defense of principle; and
	WHEREAS, The United States judicial system was built on the 
morality reflected in the Ten Commandments, and on freedom of 
speech and freedom of religion, and examples such as legislative 
prayers and the national motto demonstrate ample room for 
compatibility between, as well as separation of, church and state; 
and
	WHEREAS, Lawmakers of this chamber believe that the display 
of religious beliefs, even on government property, is supportable 
under the United States Constitution, and is justified by the 
crucial and undeniable influence of religion on the genesis of this 
nation; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 78th Texas 
Legislature, 3rd Called Session, hereby express its support for 
Chief Justice Roy Moore of Alabama, and for any other attempt to 
display the religious principles  that have served long and well as 
a grounding for this great nation.
