Where does it state it was erected illegally?

It's a religious statue on public property. D'uh.

Why is that illegal? There are religious symbols and bible
verses all
over the federal buildings in DC. You better load up the old
Yugo and
get to work.
I wonder how long it would take until the cops arrested you?

I guess I should just grimace and giggle at religious
expressionism on
public buildings and on public property and suchlike. "In god we
trust..." Right, because we can trust god to prevent WWII, 9-11,
Ebola,
polio, and hatemongers like Pat Robertson and Rush Limbaugh.

Then why can't you " just grimace and giggle" when you see a rock
that
says you shouldn't **** around on your wife, lie, steal and murder
people?

I'm not psychotic, so I don't see rocks like that. I would not,
however,
want to see a human-carved stone tablet with the Big Ten erected on
public property, though I am aware such transgressions exist.

Obviously, you are a believer in religious claptrap. Please let me
know
when your god prevents another war, another famine, another disease,
another massive terrorist attack.

I don't really have a god but I do not feel it necessary to **** on
people who do. That is a "liberal" trait (perhaps one of the most
misused words in our common lexicon).
You guys are only liberal about the causes you believe in and
everything else is simply a target for your hatred..

Linking this with the other subject we are discussing, I would point
out that "liberals" love democracy, until it results in a decision
they disagree with and then they want the heavy thumb of government on
the scale.
If put to a vote, how many people in Oklahoma would vote FOR the
monument?
For that matter how many people in Calvert county would vote the same
way?

What matters is that there is supposed to be a separation of church and
state in this country, and the Okie 10 statue violates that. I don't
give a damn what "religious people" erect in their houses, their
churches, or their church schools. A local Catholic church erects about
500 tiny crosses each year on its lawn at election time to protest
against the abortion of fetuses. It's on their property, so I just
snicker at it when I drive by. If it were on public property, I'd get
involved in a campaign to remove the display.

This is why guys like you hate Scalia. He actually reads the words in
the constitution and believes it says what the actual language in the
constitution says.

The Constitution says
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion,
or prohibiting the free exercise thereof"

Erecting a religious statue on public property is a violation of the
Establishment clause. And once again, you go over the top. I don't
*hate* Scalia. I think he is a horse's ass of an Associate Justice.

Damn you are stupid. Erecting a statue doesn't constitute establishing a
religion. Words have meaning you know.

And it was not erected by the elected.
