In this Ten Commandments case, a majority found a religious purpose in the
city's acceptance of a Ten Commandments plaque from the Order of Eagles. The
Court attributed the Eagles religious purpose to the city (there being no
extant evidence of the city's purpose).The dissenting judge objected to
tacking the donors purpose-to the city.
My question is: is this a dispute about constitutional law or a dispute
about the law of evidence
