Lawsuit filed challenging Ten Commandments in Ky.
Associated Press
McKEE, Ky. —
A man has asked a federal judge to order nine copies of the Ten Commandments taken down from an eastern Kentucky courthouse.
Eugene Phillips Jr., with the backing of the American Civil Liberties Union, sued Jackson County and Judge-Executive William O. Smith over the displays. In the suit, Phillips calls the displays an improper governmental endorsement of religion. It seeks an injunction ordering the county to take down the copies.
Smith told The Lexington Herald-Leader that he had not seen a copy of the lawsuit, but that most county residents would support keeping the display. He said a judge might order the county to remove the Commandments, but "that doesn't mean it's right."
There have been several court fights over Kentucky counties posting the Ten Commandments in the last decade.
