Incidentally, he also points out that one should distinguish between what a plaintiff is asking for and what the court grants:

But more importantly, in the very Supreme Court case that held that nativity scenes may violate the Establishment Clause -- a case conveniently called Allegheny County v. Greater Pittsburgh ACLU -- the ACLU sued to enjoin both a creche and a menorah. The Court ultimately upheld the display of the menorah, because it was part of a broader display, rather than just a stand-alone religious symbol; this result might be criticized, but it doesn't turn on whether the Menorah is Jewish or Christian, and it isn't the result that the ACLU sought.
