36. You're right - The RNC argument is wrong
The idea that it's OK to display the 10 Commandments by themselves because they are a part of our legal history, is both:

1) Approved by the RNC
2) Rejected by the Supreme Court.

In order to display religious documents for the purpose of detailing the roots and sources of our legal system, the govt must avoid displaying only those documents that came from one religious source, in this case Christianity.

But that doesn't stop the RNC (or those willing to repeat the RNC's arguments) from repeating the lie that Moore's display is a historical display, when Moore himself has said it is a religious display.
