A three-judge panel of the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit on Wednesday upheld a Federal District Court’s ruling that Judge James DeWeese of the Richland County Common Pleas Court violated the constitutional separation between church and state by displaying a poster containing the Ten Commandments in his courtroom. He hung the poster in 2006 after the United States Supreme Court let stand rulings that another Ten Commandments poster he hung in 2000 violated the Constitution. The latest poster, titled “Philosophies of Law in Conflict” shows the Ten Commandments in a column labeled as “moral absolutes” and secular humanist principles in a column labeled as “moral relatives.”
