Supreme Court on Ten Commandments Displays

Ed at In The Agorta has links to the opinions, concurrences, and dissents for the two cases regarding public displays of the Ten Commandments, McCreary v. ACLU (Kentucky case) and Van Orden v. Perry (Texas case).

The vote was 5-4 against the Kentucky display and 5-4 in favor of the Texas display. Justice Stephen Breyer was the vote that "switched sides" while Kennedy, Scalia, Thomas, and Rehnquist voted to allow the displays while O'Connor, Stevens, Ginsburg, and Souter voted to remove them.
