Supreme Anticipation

The ruling on 10 Commandments and public spaces is due today, as well as the potential for retirement announcements from Rehnquist and/or O’Connor.

Will there be a ‘test’ from the court about when the commandments are a ‘historical’ display or simply proselytizing, or will they use the famous ‘not know what it is, but know it when they see it’?

Or, worst of all, say that any on displays public grounds are fine

Keep your eyes peeled.

Update IV

In the time it took me to post this, the ruling came out, prohibiting court house displays. More when the opinion is available. (Inside only, or will the Supreme Court have to do some remodeling?)

Looks like they went with the ‘porn’ standard. CNN is reporting that the court left ‘wiggle’ room, stating their own ‘historical’ display was okay, but the displays which led to the decision went too far.

Curiouser and Curioser. 10 Commandment displays are okay on state house grounds.
