		After changing counsel, the counties revised the exhibits again by eliminating some documents, expanding the text set out in another, and adding some new ones.
		Their first argument is that the very consideration of purpose is deceptive: according to them, true "purpose" is unknowable, and its search merely an excuse for courts to act selectively and unpredictably in picking out evidence of subjective intent.

	AFAJournal.org - Monumental monument cases
		In McCreary County, the majority opinion written by Justice David Souter focused almost exclusively on the purpose of the counties in erecting the displays, because the displays had something of a checkered history.
		The counties had initially posted the Ten Commandments on the courthouse walls by themselves, then, after a lawsuit, passed a resolution calling for a more extensive exhibit, which added several historical documents.
		Justices Souter, John Paul Stevens, Kennedy and Breyer struck the Kentucky displays on the basis that a reasonable observer, aware of the past postings and pronouncements by county officials, would believe that the counties were improperly attempting to advance religion.

		By virtue of details familiar only to the parties to litigation and their lawyers, McCreary and Pulaski Counties, Kentucky, and Rutherford County, Tennessee, have been ordered to remove the same display that appears in courthouses from Mercer County, Kentucky to Elkhart County, Indiana.
