The Facts of Chabad Lubavitch v. City of Burlington:
Residents brought suit against the city because a request to display a menorah in a city park was denied. The U.S. District Court refused relief and the case went to the U.S. Court of Appeals. The U.S. Court of Appeals affirmed, ruling that the display would violate the establishment of religion clause of the First Amendment because the menorah would dominate the display and could not be viewed with secular display " as a whole."
