Is the Secular Taliban losing ground?

The American Cabal of Leftist Uber-fascists is at it again. From here:

In the wake of major decisions on public display of the Ten Commandments, the American Civil Liberties Union is asking a federal court to order removal of a Tennessee courthouse exhibit.

"The posting of the Ten Commandments sends the message that only certain believers can receive justice at the courthouse," said Hedy Weinberg, executive director of ACLU of Tennessee.

BUT, the article goes on to state:

The decision was stayed, however, pending a decision on similar cases in two Kentucky counties, McCreary and Mercer.

In each of the counties, the Ten Commandments is displayed among historical documents. The Rutherford County display includes copies of the preamble to the Tennessee Constitution, the National Motto, the National Anthem, the Declaration of Independence, the Magna Carta, the Bill of Rights, the United States Constitution and the Mayflower Compact.

Last June, the Supreme Court in a split 5-4 decision upheld a preliminary injunction against McCreary County because the court said the prior history of the county's evolving display suggested a religious purpose. However, the court permitted the case to return to the trial court for a final ruling.

In the meantime, Dec. 20, the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals, the same court to which the Rutherford County case will be appealed, upheld Mercer County's identical display.

That court scolded the ACLU, rejecting its "repeated reference to 'the separation of church and state.'"

This can be hopeful news. But even if the Secular Taliban loses this battle, I'm afraid that the Secular Taliban's war on our religious heritage is nonetheless far from over.
