That being said, I have no problem with putting other 'basis' symbols in a courthouse such as the Magna Carta or the Code of Hammarubai.
Just realized you beat me to Hammurabi.

I agree with putting the 10 commandments in for traditionalist reasons, just like having "In God We Trust" on coinage. However, the cases are coming about not because of tradition, but because zealots are attempting to make a statement and proselytize. That is unacceptable to me. If they want to push this to the extreme, then I guess I have to side with removing all of the 10 commandments displays. That is not what I want. I prefer to set some guidelines and let reason prevail.
