WASHINGTON (AP) - Leaders of a North Carolina county can keep "In God We Trust" on their government building, after challengers lost a Supreme Court appeal on Monday.
Justices did not comment in rejecting an appeal over the inscription on the Davidson County government building in Lexington, N.C. The action had been expected.
"The court has over the years avoided confronting the issue directly as to whether these kinds of public religious messages — of a ceremonial or symbolic nature — are impermissibly religious," said Keith Werhan, a law professor at Tulane University in New Orleans. "I suspect it's a question of letting sleeping dogs lie."
