Yes, and note that it was the SCOTUS “conservatives” who constituted the majority on that case and rendered that opinion. The “liberals” (Blackmun, Marshall, etc.) would have banned any religious expression outright.

That is the story of conservatism in the fast few decades: we start by already fashioning a compromise in our own head, then either lose altogether or move left from the initial, already compromised negotiating position.

Besides, like in this case, the compromise is sometime worse than a total loss, because undiluted religion expression is already banned and that is considered the “conservative” goalpost.

The left simply plows through till they cannot go any further, like Stalin though Eastern Europe.
