Thousands of stone Ten Commandments monuments on highly visible properties in communities across the nation, millions of smaller plaques in Christian and Jewish homes, and a massive bronze showing the biblical image of Moses holding the stones on which God wrote… The target of the ACLU? Nope. Thanks to the ACLU!
The ACLU sued to get the Ten Commandments out of a courtroom in Kansas City. The monument was moved
"...about 100 feet across the street to St. Anthony’s Catholic Church, so that it would be on private property and no longer subject to the whims of lawyers and judges..."
A Kansas businessman, John Menghini, was upset over the court decision, but noted that more people saw the monument outside the courthouse than in! (Although, given the state of lawyers in this country, that still may be the place it's needed most!)
The result was Project Moses, which works to install 900-pound stone monuments to God’s Laws on church and other private properties in prominent civic locations across the country. Hundreds already are installed, as well as thousands of smaller stone plaques that are offered to families for their homes.
So, the ACLU sues to get one monument out of a public building and inspired men to place thousands of them across the country, in more visible locations.
I think that fits the Law of Unintended Consequences nicely! Heh.

Update: Here's another thing the ACLU will surely not object to, since they are attached to the back bumpers of private property!
