Supreme Court Denies Review In 10 Commandments Case

Yesterday the U.S. Supreme Court denied certiorari in McCreary County v. ACLU of Kentucky, (Docket No. 10-566, cert. denied 2/22/2011) (Order List.) In the case-- which has been before the Supreme Court once in 2005 already-- a majority of a 6th Circuit panel (see prior posting) approved issuance of a permanent injunction against a display of the 10 Commandments with other historical documents that refer to God in two Kentucky county court houses.  The panel refused to find that the counties had changed their original religious purpose for the displays. The 6th Circuit denied en banc review. (See prior posting.) Christian Science Monitor reports on the Courts denial of review.
