WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A divided U.S. Supreme Court ruled on Monday that Kentucky cannot display framed copies of the Ten Commandments in county courthouses.

Justice David Souter for the court majority cited the "predominantly religious purpose" behind the displays in two counties. The high court has yet to issue a second ruling on a Ten Commandments monument on a state Capitol grounds.

1. Great to hear.
Here's to hoping it's not the last reasonable decision we hear from the USSC (which may very well be the case dependong on who they try to fill the upcoming vacancy with).
