A petition for certiorari (full text) was filed Wednesday with the U.S. Supreme Court in Haskell County Board of Commissioners v. Green. In the case, the U.S. 10th Circuit Court of Appeals held that a display of a Ten Commandments monument on the lawn of the county courthouse in Stigler, Oklahoma, violated the Establishment Clause. Alliance Defense Fund issued a release announcing the filing.
UPDATE: The brief in opposition to the granting of cert (full text) was filed on Jan. 11, 2010 by the ACLU which represents respondents.
