Rev. Patrick J. Mahoney, Christian Defense Coalition :
This is a tragic day for religious liberty and the First Amendment
James Dobson, Focus on the Family, Chairman :
This is part of a larger plan to remove every vestige of faith or reverence for God from the public square. That’s where this is headed.
Mark Iain Sutherland, president of the Positive Action Coalition
If you destroy the very foundation of our laws, then our laws become whatever the people in power decide they want them to be. Then, instead of the laws protecting the liberties and the rights that we have created in the image of God, they become tools for those in power to control the masses to whatever means they want.

(CNSNews.com) – The dispute over a Ten Commandments display in Alabama has inspired at least one copycat lawsuit, and more are likely to follow, according to defenders of the 2.5-ton monument, which was moved from public view Wednesday.
The turn of events in Montgomery was a setback for supporters of Alabama Supreme Court Chief Justice Roy S. Moore, whose refusal to move the monument has resulted in rebukes from state officials and a temporary suspension by a judicial ethics panel.
In the past two weeks, however, Moore has become an icon of Christians who wanted the monument to remain in place. His supporters have traveled from across the country to pray outside the court.
“This is a tragic day for religious liberty and the First Amendment,” the Rev. Patrick J. Mahoney, director of the Christian Defense Coalition, told a crowd of supporters Wednesday. “This is the future of our nation if we do not get involved now.”
