Politics: Ten Commandments--Context is Key
This Rod Smolla Slate article seems to delineate the issues surrounding the Supreme Court taking up a Ten Commandments case rather well:
While there are likely to be some Americans and some Supreme Court justices with relatively absolute convictions on each extreme of these arguments, many citizens and a critical mass of justices may find themselves in the middle, with more nuanced views that are neither completely for or completely against the display of the Ten Commandments in public spaces. For many in this middle group, context becomes critical. Which explains why it has been critical in the case law.
