Christian Reconstruction activist Rob Schenck and his Faith and Action organization are putting a Ten Commandments monument on the lawn in front of their office across the street from the U.S. Supreme Court.
There's nothing unconstitutional about making the Ten Commandments prominent on private property. In fact, both the Baptist Joint Committee and Americans United for Separation of Church and State would defend expressions of faith on private property as a constitutionally protected civil right.
Whatever problems Schenck's organization has had getting permits to put up their monument are based on regulations other than the First Amendment to the Constitution.
