Question Presented (OCR Extract)
QUESTIONS PRESENTED Relying on the “Lemon test,” a panel of the Eleventh Circuit held that a city violated the Establishment Clause by allowing the display of across that has been an uncontroversial part of community life for over 75 years. The questions presented are: 1. Whether plaintiffs have standing to sue under the Establishment Clause when their only alleged injury consists of the feelings of “offense” produced by observing a passive religious display. 2. Whether, under Town of Greece v. Galloway, 134 S. Ct. 1811 (2014), passive religious displays with a long historical pedigree must be torn down because of claims that they have the purpose or effect of endorsing religion.
