6th Circuit Hears Oral Arguments In 10 Commandments Case

Yesterday, the U.S. 6th Circuit Court of Appeals heard oral arguments in ACLU v. Grayson County, Kentucky. In the case, a Kentucky federal district court, on Establishment Clause grounds, permanently enjoined a display of the Ten Commandments as part of a Foundations of American Law and Government Display in the Grayson County Courthouse. (See prior posting.) AP reported that the judges questioned counsel more than usual, as the two sides debated whether or not the county had a secular purpose for the display.
