Kentucky 10 Commandments Case Appealed To 6th Circuit

By Howard Friedman

In the latter part of April a notice of appeal to the U.S. 6th Circuit Court of Appeals was filed in ACLU of Kentucky v. Grayson County, Kentucky, a case in which a Kentucky federal district court permanently enjoined a display of the Ten Commandments as part of a Foundations of American Law and Government Display in the Grayson County (KY) Courthouse. (See prior posting.) On Thursday, The Record (Grayson County) reported that Liberty Counsel has agreed to argue the appeal at no cost to the county. Meanwhile the courthouse continues to display an empty frame where the Ten Commandments had been, while retaining the other documents in the display. The Ten Commandment Defense group has put up seven highway billboards showing the Ten Commandments, and more than 150 local businesses have agreed to display the Ten Commandments to protest their removal from the courthouse.
