Supreme Court Upholds Amish Triangles

Thursday, the Kentucky Supreme Court upheld a state law requiring an Amish sect to post orange safety triangles on their buggies, although the ruling is irrelevant because lawmakers changed the law earlier this year. The new state law allows them to use gray or reflective tape instead. Several Amish men asked the Supreme Court in March to grant them a religious exemption from using the orange triangles.
