Supreme Court rejects Kentucky's 10C monument
Technically, the Supreme Court refused to hear an appeal by Kentucky to lower court rulings forbidding the Ten Commandments monument...

Thanks for the heads-up, beejay. The Supreme Court seems none too anxious to have a go at these decalogue cases, and in this instance the decision is perfectly understandable. This case wasn't a close call given the history underlying the Kentucky law in dispute. The court of appeals decision that the Supreme Court let stand is Adland v. Russ, 307 F.3d 471 (6th Cir. 2002).

Indiana: Denied. Kentucky: Denied. Alabama: How about us? No? MS: How about us? No? OH: How about us? No? ... Do they think the Court's just going to crack one of these times and say, "Well, OK. But only because you said, 'Please.'" |
