OH Court: 10 Commandments Display Can Stay

Via How Appealing, the AP reports on an Ohio a federal district court's decision leaving in place a courthouse display

U.S. District Judge James Carr said Tuesday that the monument can stay because the motives for placing it outside the Lucas County courthouse were secular and not an endorsement of a specific belief.

The American Civil Liberties Union of Ohio sued Lucas County in 2002 to have the display removed, saying it was unconstitutional and promoted religion.
