Well, the U.S. Supreme Court did what everyone knew they'd do. The city of Edmond wasted a LOT of money defending that stupid thing. It was an unwinnable fight, it just would have been political suicide not to fight it. The only ones that won in that case were the attorneys for the city

It very clearly violated the establishment clause though.
