Supreme Court passes on creches case before Christmas
The Supreme Court declined to rule on whether communities may display nativity scenes with secular Christmas decorations, leaving Pawtucket Rhode Island to continue its 40 year display near city hall. The case challenges the city sponsorship of a life size nativity scene as violating the First Amendment. Separately Philadelphia reports a Delaware County court must hear Gerald Cappell's plea withdrawal after the judge refused a hearing on his burglary plea.
