Buono v. Norton

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding that an eight-foot cross intended as a war memorial and located on land owned by the national government violated the Establishment Clause
• holding that plaintiff who was “unable to freely use” the area of the Mojave National Preserve around a Latin cross because of the government’s allegedly unconstitutional actions had standing (internal quotation marks, editorial marks, and citation omit- ted)
• holding that we review de novo a grant of summary judgment
• noting that presence of a religious symbol on land transferred into private hands might still violate the Establishment Clause, but reserving the question
• holding a reasonable observer would be aware of religious discrimination in administering the site
• noting that in a federal case involving multiple plaintiffs, “once the court determines that one of the plaintiffs has standing, it need not decide the standing of the others”
