How later courts describe this case
- finding that “we do not think we are free to combine a dissent with a concurrence to form a Marks majority”
- striking a city seal containing Christian symbols and concluding that "[n]o appeal to history can abate [a sectarian] message when the images in the seal are abstract symbols of a particular Christian sect"
- "narrowest opinion must represent a common denominator of the Court's reasoning; it must embody a position implicitly approved by at least five Justices who support the judgment"
- "we doubt that lawyers require special incentives to pursue their own compensation"
