ACLU of Kentucky, Meredith and Harper v. Grayson Co., Kentucky
United States District Court / Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals

    This case is from our second set of challenges to Ten Commandments displays in county buildings.  U.S. District Judge Joseph McKinley granted our request for a preliminary injunction in 2001 barring the display before the case was stayed (held in abeyance) pending the outcome of the Supreme Court decision in the McCreary and Pulaski cases.  After the McCreary/Pulaski decision, the parties conducted discovery (i.e. factual development through witness depositions, etc.) and submitted their briefs to the court.  On March 28, 2008, Judge McKinley agreed with us that the County erected its display for a predominantly religious reason and granted our request for a permanent injunction prohibiting the County from posting its display.

    The County appealed this decision, and both parties have now submitted their legal arguments to the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals.  We will be arguing this case before the Sixth Circuit on April 23, 2009.
