He authored a concurring opinion. He criticizes the concept of the offended observer and would have held that suits like this should be dismissed for lack of standing. He’s 100% correct, IMO, and it’s a shame his view didn’t prevail, but at least this decision went the right way in general.
That should now protect every cross on public land in America. Now add those mayors, congress critters and other political animals who opposed this to the list of pols that need to be defeated next year.
I think I’m glad the ruling went the way it went. I am concerned however that Ginsberg has a valid point. I would prefer that a Star of David not mark my grave. The fact is however that in our day and time as in the last 200 plus years of our country the cross has meant more than Christianity, although it can certainly mean that. Was there a section in the cemetery for various religions?
I would never be in favor of removing the Cross, Star of David or Crescent but if I was a Jew and there was only a Cross I might be inclined to complain that I too need a marker.
