Case also requests Court to clarify Establishment Clause rulings

www.LC.org

Today Liberty Counsel filed a petition with the U.S. Supreme Court, requesting that the Court take on a case it heard in 2005 involving the “Foundations of American Law and Government” display, which includes the Ten Commandments, on two county courthouse walls in McCreary and Pulaski Counties in Kentucky. McCreary County v. ACLU of Kentucky was first argued at the U.S. Supreme Court in 2005 by Mathew Staver, Founder of Liberty Counsel and Dean of Liberty University School of Law. The Court sent the case back to the lower court for a full trial. The same case has now returned back to the High Court.

In the meantime, since 2005, the identical display has been upheld in three separate federal court of appeals cases. Liberty Counsel defended each of these cases. Liberty Counsel’s petition asks the Supreme Court to overturn the infamous so-called Lemon test, which the Court has sometimes used in Establishment Clause cases. Liberty Counsel has requested the Court to issue a ruling that will provide an objective standard for Establishment Clause jurisprudence that is more consistent with the intent of the First Amendment.
