With the judges split into unusual voting blocs, the 9th Circuit on Friday issued an 8-3 ruling in an Establishment Clause case that is thought to be prime for Supreme Court review.

But in what's seen as a possibly more important outcome of the case, a separate majority said the plaintiffs had standing to sue.
