U.S. Supreme Court split on Ten Commandments

The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled against the display of the Ten Commandments inside county courtrooms, but said it can be displayed on government land.

In a 5-4 ruling, the judges said the posting of framed copies of the commandments in two Kentucky county courthouses violated the doctrine of separation of church and state.

However, the judges also ruled 5-4 that monument of the Ten Commandments on the grounds of the Texas capital was a legitimate tribute to the nation's legal and religious history.
