| Description | FRANKFORT, Ky. -- Republican Gov. Ernie Fletcher ordered the Ten Commandments displayed in the state Capitol on Monday, hitting on one of his re-election campaign themes the day before Kentucky's general election.
The Ten Commandments, along with other historical documents mounted on gold-colored easels, went on display in the Rotunda following a ruling from a federal judge earlier Monday. U.S. District Judge Joseph M. Hood ruled that a previous injunction that prohibited a different monument displaying the Biblical directives did not apply.
Kentucky's race for governor culminates Tuesday, when voters decide whether Fletcher or Democrat Steve Beshear will guide Kentucky over the next four years. Recent media polls have shown Fletcher trailing Beshear by 15 to 23 percentage points. |
