Notwithstanding the foregoing way in which a decision could be cobbled together, I predict that the court will rule the displays unconstitutional as establishment violations. Unlike Rosenberger, it is hard to find keeping them in place as some sort of support of free speech and it is hard to find that from some perspective the religious group would be treated differently and worse than some secular group wanting to post something like, say, the Bill of Rights.
FWIW, I think these should be easy, bright-line cases against. There are plenty of other fora for this sort of witnessing.
