Supreme Court of the United States

Pleasant Grove City, Utah v. Summum — Scalia, J., Concurring

February 25, 2009555 U.S. 460

Summary

Justice Scalia concurs with the Court’s judgment that the city’s refusal to permit Summum’s monument does not violate the Free Speech Clause. He emphasizes that the Ten Commandments display is government speech and poses no Establishment Clause problem, drawing on the Court’s reasoning in Van Orden. The concurrence adds no new holding and serves as supplemental reasoning to the majority opinion.
