Washington, D.C. - Following today’s decisions by the United States Supreme Court, it is almost certain that the Supreme Court will release the Ten Commandments decision next Monday, June 27. The Ten Commandments cases include McCreary County v. ACLU of Kentucky and Van Orden v. Perry. Mathew D. Staver, President and General Counsel of Liberty Counsel, argued McCreary County earlier this year before the High Court. Liberty Counsel also filed amicus briefs in the Van Orden case before the federal district and appellate courts.

The McCreary County case involves two Kentucky courthouses in McCreary and Pulaski Counties, where the Ten Commandments is part of a larger display on law. The Van Orden case involves a six-foot-tall, granite monument of the Ten Commandments donated by the Fraternal Order of Eagles, situated on the state capitol grounds.

Today the Court released six decisions. There are six remaining decisions of the 2004-2005 Term which ends next week. Of the six cases, two of them include the Ten Commandments. Next Monday is the last scheduled day to release decisions. However, it is possible that the Court could add one more day next week for decisions. Since no other days are currently scheduled, the chances of the decision coming next Monday are high.

Mathew D. Staver commented: "We are eagerly anticipating a decision by the Supreme Court on the Ten Commandments. There are more than fifty depictions of the Ten Commandments in the Supreme Court where I argued in defense of displaying the Commandments. The Ten Commandments are deeply rooted in American law and culture."

Mathew Staver along with some of the Liberty Counsel legal team will be at the United States Supreme Court next Monday. Mr. Staver will be available to speak to the media.
