In recent decades, progressives have turned to the courts to accomplish what ought to be done in the political arena. No less is that true than when it comes to religiously expressive symbols that appear in public. The U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in The American Legion v. AHA may be redirecting activists back to where the debate should take place.
Justice Samuel Alito, authoring the Supreme Court’s majority opinion in the recent case, explained that “established, religiously expressive monuments, symbols, and practices” are now afforded “a strong presumption of constitutionality.” That is good news to the citizens of Lehigh County, Pennsylvania.
