The American Legion v American Humanist Association 2019

In The American Legion v American Humanist Association, 588 U. S. ____ (2019), the U.S. Supreme Court held that the Bladensburg Cross does not violate the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment. While seven justices agreed with the Court’s judgment, only four joined the lead opinion, with many justices diverging on the continued relevance of the test set forth in Lemon v. Kurtzman, 403 U.S. 602 (1971).
