The case against the Garrard County Fiscal Court over a ten commandments display is over, at least for now. A ruling in 1999 ordered the display be removed.
Court offcials complied. In January 2008, a new display was put up at the courthouse.
The judge executive there says the new display is "educational" and shows the "history" of the commandments.
The U.S. district court dismissed this lawsuit over the original display since it was removed.

@NANCY Location: HARLAN Related to president Bush are we? To be so sure that your fairy tale could save the world Id say youd have to be his family. After all Im sure the jews and muslims would love for you to force your ways on them. Take notice all fools freedom of religion means you can practice what you wish without repercusions. WHen fools force their ways into government buildings and laws it violates others freedom. You freedom ends where everyone elses begins!

No, it would not, JPB, because what else is on that wall in the Surpreme Court? The South Wall Frieze includes figures of lawgivers from the BC times, and includes Menes, Hammurabi, Moses, Solomon, Lycurgus, Solon, Draco, Confucius, and Augustus. The North Wall Frieze shows lawgivers from the AD era and includes representations of Justinian, Muhammad, Charlemagne, King John of England, King Louis IX of France, Hugo Grotius, Sir William Blackstone, John Marshall, and Napoleon. That's not the Ten Commandments, it's Moses along with a bunch of other religious and secular lawgivers. Your example FAILS! Here, learn something: http://www.snopes.com/politics/religion/capital.asp
