Connecticut Supreme Court refuses case hearing
March 4, 2010
Connecticut: The Connecticut Supreme Court has refused to hear a case brought by Bertram Cooper against Sincerely Yours Inc., store run by the Full Gospel Interdenominational Church that has a contract with the U.S. Postal Service. Cooper brought charges against the store saying that the display of religious items in the postal section of the store violated the constitutional ban on government endorsement of religion. The Supreme Court's refusal to hear the case means that the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruling, which ordered Sincerely Yours Inc. to remove religious items from the postal service part of the store, stands.[1]
