System of religion: The court said that: "the Ten Commandments are obviously religious in nature and are an integral part of the Jewish and Christian faiths."
Benefit: There doesn't have to be a "benefit"; the constitution also says "support". If you have a big sign with a religious message on it, it is reasonable to say that it is supporting a system of religion.
Specifically which priest, preacher, minister, or other religious teacher or dignitary, or sectarian institution has benefited and how so?
The politician who paid for the original monument to be installed is also an ordained Baptist minister. You could say that he benefits politically.
So multiple “systems of religion” are “supported”? Is that it? Pretty weak. In fact these judges need to pull their heads out of their collective asses. The monument supports the foundation of Western Civilization - the very system within which these judges operate.

He is running for office? Is his name displayed on government property?
