@greg_doucette I am really confused by the concurring opinion there, probably because the question being addressed is not "was this policy violating the 1st amendment" but something like "can the plaintiff argue that there's a 1st amendment violation by town policy". I would appreciate if someone contradicted me or explained this (the second opinion and what question was actually being addressed) in more detail.
