The southern Illinois city of Marion is considering a resident's request to put a Ten Commandments monument in the city square -- and opposition is already beginning to line up.
Ken Kessler's idea went before the Marion City Council on Monday night, although no action was taken.
But Mayor Bob Butler endorses the plan and may push for the sale of some city land to make the monument spot private property.
Kessler says he isn't a crusader and got the idea after seeing a similar display in a small Indiana town.
Butler says the American Civil Liberties Union already has threatened to sue the city if the project goes forward, but Butler insists he's not intimidated by that.
Several monument companies already are offering to donate the 5-foot stone and the inscription.

"He who can, does. He who cannot, teaches."
"Being is substance and life; life manifests by movement; movement is perpetuated by equilibrium; equilibrium is therefore the law of immortality.
"The doctrine of equality!... But there exists no more poisonous poison: for it seems to be preached by justice itself, while it is the end of justice.... "Equality for equals, inequality for unequals" that would be the true voice of justice: and, what follows from it, "Never make equal what is unequal."
