Cincinnati, OH – On Oct 20, Liberty Counsel will present oral argument at the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals in defense of the “Foundations of American Law and Government” display, which includes the Ten Commandments. Liberty Counsel represents McCreary and Pulaski Counties in Kentucky. These are the same cases Liberty Counsel argued at the U.S. Supreme Court in 2005. The High Court only ruled on the preliminary injunction.

The “Foundations of American Law and Government” display contains the Ten Commandments, the Mayflower Compact, the Declaration of Independence, the Magna Charta, the Star-Spangled Banner, the National Motto, the Preamble to the Kentucky Constitution, the Bill of Rights to the United States Constitution, and a picture of Lady Justice.

Every federal court of appeals which has considered the “Foundations” display has ruled that the display on its face is constitutional. The only issue raised by this display is the subjective motive of the government officials in posting such a display. If the displays were predominately religious, the courts have struck them down. If educational in nature, the courts have upheld them.
