Clifford Frymoyer, an evangelist associated with a so-called "megachurch," a congregation of thousands that meets in a former professional basketball arena, knew his idea for giving a large Ten Commandments display to his local county government would likely be controversial.Even so, he thought federal judges would likely be accommodating to the display, since it would sit within the sprawling courthouse grounds, and not a courtroom.A national civil liberties group soon sues in federal court, however, arguing that the display is still so prominent that it constitutes a government endorsement of religion.How is this case likely to come out for Rev.Frymoyer?
A) Federal courts, including the Supreme Court, are increasingly accommodating to religion in public life, so any ruling will likely be favorable.
B) The display is almost but guaranteed to be ruled unconstitutional by a federal judge or judges.
C) The case is likely to be thrown out, since the courts have repeatedly ruled in favor of religious expression at public hearings.
D) It would be hard to say, given that the Supreme Court has issued confusing and inconsistent rulings regarding Ten Commandments displays.
