: How Appealing"Court Denies a Religion Its Monument in a Park"
Today in The Washington Post, Robert Barnes reports that "City Can Reject Religious Display; Supreme Court Backs Utah Officials."
In The Los Angeles Times, David G. Savage reports that "Supreme Court rejects free-speech argument for 'Seven Aphorisms' display; Monuments and statutes in public parks speak for the government and are not equivalent to a speaker standing in a public park voicing his views, justices rule unanimously in a Utah case."
In USA Today, Joan Biskupic has an article headlined "Justices: City can refuse monument; Utah park doesn't have to take marker from small religious sect."
In The Wall Street Journal, Jess Bravin reports that "City Is Cleared to Reject a Religious Monument."
In The Christian Science Monitor, Warren Richey reports that "Supreme Court rules Utah city can reject religious sect's monument; Lawyers for the Summum religion had argued that its monument should be allowed in a public park where the Ten Commandments were already displayed."
And law.com's Tony Mauro reports that "Supreme Court Unanimous in Speech, Antitrust Rulings."
