"裁判所に十戒を掲示できない本当の理由は、盗むな、姦淫するな、嘘をつくなという戒めを、弁護士、判事、および政治家でいっぱいの建物に掲示すると、敵対的な労働環境を作り出してしまうからです。"

Simplified Meaning:

The quote humorously points out that many people who work in the legal and political fields, such as lawyers, judges, and politicians, might often be involved in actions that go against the Ten Commandments, like lying, stealing, or cheating. They might bend the truth, make deals that could be seen as dishonest, or engage in corrupt practices to achieve their goals. By having the Ten Commandments prominently displayed in their workplace, it would constantly remind them of the moral rules they are breaking, making them feel uncomfortable or guilty. For example, imagine a company that has a rule against gossiping, but it turns out that many employees gossip all the time. If this rule was posted in big letters on the office wall, it would make those who gossip feel uneasy and judged. Similarly, the quote suggests that putting up the Ten Commandments in a courthouse filled with people who might frequently break them would create a similar tension. This idea can remind us to be aware of our actions and the environments we choose to work in or support.
