The Return of George Wallace?
Jeffrey Gettleman files two stories on the Alabama judge who installed a Ten
Commandments monument at the state Supreme Court. In his early filing he
compares the judge and his supporters to Alabama’s segregationist governor
George Wallace. Later he finds an anti-religious activist to make the comparison
for him.

Slammin’ Alabama
An editorial excoriates Alabama’s chief justice for “demagoguing about the Ten
Commandments” and “ignoring the Constitution's mandates on the separation of
church and state” (before comparing him to Gov. George Wallace). But there’s no
“separation of church and state” mandate in the Constitution.
