Hmmmm, how did this get a 9-0 decision? Ya know, one of the lefty judges wanted to vote against it.
In a rare 9-0 decision in the SCOTUS, They ruled to protect the freedom of religion. Boston city officials barred the display of a flag bearing a Christian message in a square that for decades had welcomed the flags of a broad spectrum of causes, movements, and organizations. They did so because the application submitted by the sponsoring group referred to it as a “Christian flag.”
9-0 is not rare in fact it is one of the most if not the most common voting splits in supreme court history. Its just that all the 5-4 decisions are the ones that get press.
