I thought you were educated but I was obviously wrong. I have "an attitude" for thinking that the First Amendment applied to the states.

I give up. You grab your pitchfork and get out into the streets.

You want to compare GRE scores or biceps? Stupid statements like this, the embarass thing and the phantom insults put you almost to the bottom of the ladder in my new ratings system.

Your problem is that you don't appear to be capable of independent thought. We are talikng about the "establishment clause" and the history of jurisprudence involving it and you simply don't think it matters that the Separation Canard was just that. A canard foisted on the public by judicial activism.

Such is life. When they find a "transcendent liberty" in the 14th Amendment for American citizens to be free of firearms, I assume you'll leave your pitchfork in the barn and make searing comments imploring all to respect the rule of law.

Whatever.

Which law has Congress made, establishing a religion, that has caused the Ten Commandments display to be placed in the rotunda of the Alabama Supreme Court?

The First Amendment does not apply to the states, and even if it did, posting the 10 Commandments is not remotely close to an esablishment of religion as understood in the records of debate on the First Amendment's passage. You can read those records in the Annals of Congress.
