Supreme Court Coverage - Read News Reports About ACLJ's First Amendment Case Before High Court
The Supreme Court of the United States has agreed to hear a critical First Amendment case involving the display of religious monuments.
The Supreme Court granted the ACLJ's Petition for Writ of Certiorari in the case of Pleasant Grove City v. Summum (No. 07-665). The American Center for Law and Justice represents the city of Pleasant Grove, UT and will be presenting arguments before the high court when the case is heard in the fall of 2008.
The ACLJ will argue that the Supreme Court should overturn a ruling by a federal appeals court that could force local governments across the country either to dismantle a host of monuments, memorials, and other displays including long-standing patriotic and historical displays or else let all comers install privately owned monuments or displays, regardless of content.
