On Tuesday, according to the
Associated Press, the Harris County, Texas Attorney's Office requested that the U.S. 5th Circuit Court of Appeals review
en banc the 3-judge panel's August 15 decision in
Staley v. Harris County. (See
prior posting.) That decision upheld an Establishment Clause challenge to a monument on the Harris County courthouse grounds honoring Houston philanthropist William S. Mosher. The monument includes a Bible in a glass case as part of the display.
