Supreme Court Denies Cert. In Oklahoma 10 Commandments Case

The U.S. Supreme Court today denied certiorari in Haskell County Board of Commissioners v. Green, (Docket No. 09-531, March 1, 2010). (Order List.) 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.
