U.S. District Judge Karl Forester said that displaying the Ten Commandments as "part of an exhibit on the foundations of American law and government" does not "have the effect of endorsing religion."
However, Forester refused to dismiss the second lawsuit, ruling that the history of the display in question suggested "that the officially stated purpose [of the display]...is a sham" devised to obscure the display's religious intent.
In 2001, the American Civil Liberties Union sued Rowan County for its Ten Commandments display. Once the lawsuit was filed, the "copy of the Ten Commandments was removed and the Foundations display went up, with the Ten Commandments mixed into it," according to an article on www.kentucky.com. Other documents included with the Ten Commandments were the Bill of Rights, the Magna Carta, and the Declaration of Independence, among others.
And in 2005, the U.S. Supreme Court "ruled that Ten Commandments displays on government property must be evaluated on a case-by-case basis," says the article on www.law.com.
