On February 27, 2019,American Legion et al v. American Humanist Assn. et alwas argued before the United States Supreme Court. The case was decided on June 20, 2019. The case involves the 40 foot tall cross in Bladensburg, Maryland.

I need help breaking down the case material to apply legal concepts.

The complete case can be found using the link https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/18pdf/17-1717_4f14.pdf.

and additional resources can be found https://www.nytimes.com/2019/06/20/us/politics/maryland-peace-cross-supreme-court.html AND https://www.nationalreview.com/bench-memos/ruling-in-bladensburg-cross-case/

I need help identifying:

• (substantive and procedural) facts
• issue(s) presented
• rule (used to make the decision)
• holding (what the court decided)
• analysis (why the court decided what they did)
• conclusion (what did the court do; what happened procedurally)

• liberal point of view
• ethical concepts of the case
• relevant common law or statutory laws that may support or refute the outcome
• constitutional provision(s) or applications that concern this case
• other ways to resolve this ... maybe mediation, arbitration, or negotiation
• based on the facts or outcome of this case, could there be any criminal acts that may be related

• considering the establishment clause of the 1st amendment ... did the court make the right decision?
• did the court get it right?

Any help on helping me to effectively breakdown this case would be much appreciated. I'm not a law student... I'm a numbers gal... and most of this business law is going over my head.
