It is shocking that the U.S. Supreme Court commands us to murder, steal and commit adultery -- that's the English translation of the Adolph A. Weinman's bas-relief of Moses overlapping tablets on the South Wall Frieze of its courtroom: 

"Thou shall murder" (line 1), "Thou shall steal" (line 2) and "Commit adultery" (line 3). (Translation by Avrahaum Segol; verified at pp. 12-13 of the oral argument transcript of Pleasant Grove City v. Summum, Nov. 12, 2008.)
