Supreme Court of the United States

Archdiocese of Washington v. Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority

April 6, 2020140 S. Ct. 1198

Summary

The Supreme Court denied the petition for a writ of certiorari, leaving the lower court’s decision standing. The Court noted that, although it could not review the case, the reasoning of the lower courts correctly identified WMATA’s refusal to accept a religious Christmas advertisement as impermissible viewpoint discrimination under the First Amendment.
