Raising Legal Fees On eBay By Selling the Decalogue

In July, a Georgia federal judge ordered Barrow County to remove a Ten Commandments plaque from its courthouse. (See prior posting.) A private group, Ten Commandments-Georgia, pledged to reimburse the county for its legal expenses. The Atlanta Journal Constitution reports today that in order for the group to raise the last $52,000 it needs to meet that pledge, it has put up for auction on e-Bay the authentic Ten Commandments plaque that was removed under the order of the court.
