Supreme Court rules in Van Orden v. Perry

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled (5–4) that a Ten Commandments monument on the Texas State Capitol grounds did not violate the Establishment Clause.

The decision signaled a more permissive approach to some public religious displays and, paired with a contrasting ruling the same day, highlighted the Court's divided and case-specific approach to church–state issues.
