The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Ohio has filed another lawsuit against a county judge who continues to display the Ten Commandments in his courtroom.
After Richland County Judge James DeWeese lost a similar case in 2002, he added “humanist principles” alongside the Ten Commandments.
Still, the ACLU claims his religious views should not influence his role as a judge.
Bruce Hausknecht, judicial analyst for Focus on the Family Action, said: “The Supreme Court has approved public displays of the Ten Commandments in certain public settings, recognizing that this country is indebted to our Judeo-Christian heritage as the foundation for its laws.
"Hopefully, this display will be able to meet the complex tests the court has used in past cases.”
