Supremes Get One Right

The Supreme Court ruled on the side of common sense:

The U.S. Supreme Court today ruled that governments in the U.S. are not required to post or display every statement offered by private organizations.

The ruling came in a case stemming from a dispute in Utah in which a religious organization called Summum demanded the city of Pleasant Grove display a monument containing its seven "aphorisms." Summum argued the city already had accepted a donated monument displaying the Ten Commandments in a city park.

Lawyers with the American Center for Law and Justice, who defended the city, said a requirement that governments display any message offered was "scary" and would lead to absurd scenarios.

"The Minutemen in Massachusetts? We need a Redcoat. A George Washington statue? Why not George the 3rd. A Holocaust memorial? How about a Hitler memorial?" said the ACLJ's Frank Manion in a previous interview with WND.

The non-profit legal group also had suggested that according to Summum's logic, the nation could be required to allow a "Statue of Tyranny" in New York Harbor to accompany the Statue of Liberty.

The Supreme Court's ruling concluded those fears are "well founded."

Can we now do away with the notion that you can't have a nativity display without allowing every other religion or cult to put up something too?
