Very mixed feelings -
On the one hand, I totally believe in religious diversity and freedom, and that one religion (and it symols, beliefs, god/gods/goddesses, etc.) should not be forced on anyone. Having a monument of that kind in a public area that has and should have no particular religious affiliations whatsoever could make people very uncomfortable, and is not the point of a court. A court is there to uphold the laws that stand for all people in that state and country.
However, on a side note that may not have anything to do with this case in particular, but....
I do feel mainstream Christians have been the object of prejudice, because they have in the past been the predominant religion, and unfortunatly with their history, forced it upon others. In Canada and the States, we have freedom of religion, which includes any and all religions. It's wonderful that we have such diversity, and I by no means believe Christianity in any form is the "only" or "right" religion, but people are still allowed to practice it individually and with like-minded people. Same for all religions.
Anyway, sorry, that's off the subject, because I think I do agree it should be moved, because a law court, again, should have no religius ties. Obviously, this is a subject I feel strongly about, and would love to hear others opinions on. But
please let's be mature and respectful about this.
End rant
