The national motto "In God We Trust" appears over the Davidson County Government Center in North Carolina. Two attorneys who regularly practice at this location filed a lawsuit claiming the display of the motto violates the First Amendment. A U.S. District Judge ruled to dismiss the suit and to retain the display. The ruling was appealed and a three-judge panel upheld the dismissal of the lawsuit.
Judge Robert King, a member of the three-judge panel, stated "In this situation, the reasonable observer must be deemed aware of the patriotic uses, both historical and present, of the phrase 'In God We Trust'."
