Montana’s governor defended the placement of 10 Commandments monuments on government property, saying those troubled by such displays “have something going inside of them that would need a little help anyway.”
Gov. Judy Martz’s comments Friday came in response to a question about a display in front of a courthouse in Kalispell. Opponents have said it violates church-state separation and have threatened legal action.
Martz, a Republican, said such displays should be considered speech that’s protected by the 1st Amendment.
“People who are offended by the 10 Commandments have a deeper problem than the stone that it’s written on, I think,” Martz said.
