quote:
The American Civil Liberties Union brought the case against Mercer County in federal court in Lexington, arguing the display violated the Constitution's guarantee separating church and state.
The appeals court said the ACLU was relying on a false understanding of that clause.
"This extraconstitutional construct has grown tiresome," Suhrheinrich wrote. "The First Amendment does not demand a wall of separation between church and state. Our nation's history is replete with governmental acknowledgment and in some cases, accommodation of religion."
The Alliance Defense Fund said the ruling - and the words the court used to uphold Mercer County's efforts - was a major victory for the cause.
"This is a dramatic rollback of the far-left's misguided legal agenda," ADF senior counsel Gary McCaleb said in a written statement.
