10 Cs

I think I have this right. The upshot of Breyer’s opinion is that old displays of the 10 Commandments are okay but new ones aren’t. I have no problem privileging the old over the new as a matter of principle but, given all the educational functions and whatnot about constitutional displays, isn’t the upshot of this that basically it’s okay to say this was a religious country but it’s unconstitutional to say it still is. Or am I missing something?
