Cert. Petition Filed In Courtroom 10 Commandments Poster Case

 A petition for certiorari (full text) was filed yesterday with the U.S. Supreme Court in DeWeese v. ACLU of Ohio Foundation, Inc.  In the case, the U.S. 6th Circuit Court of Appeals held that a display posted in a courtroom by a state common pleas court judge violates the Establishment Clause. Next to a poster of the Bill of Rights, the judge hung another poster that compared the "Moral Absolutes" of the Ten Commandments with ten parallel principles of "Moral Relatives: Humanist Principles." (See prior posting.) ACLJ issued a press release announcing the filing of the cert. petition.
