Lou, you clearly don't understand the most simple tenets of the law. Your complaint was dismissed as having no probable cause. That you got it reinstated again does not do anything other than restore it to its original form, i.e. a complaint, an allegation. The merits are still yours to argue. You've won nothing, yet.
You reference Lynch and Allegheny as supporting your cause, and then reference the Fair Housing Act.
You will first have to show that the First Amendment's Establishment Clause and Free Exercise Clause, which limit the conduct of governments, apply to private organizations such as your condo association. And that must be shown before you even try to apply the Fair Housing Act. You will also need to show that the seasonal displays meet the test (clearly spelled out by the Supreme Court) for being religious displays, rather than secular displays. You might wish to note that in the Supreme Court ruling, for example, creches themselves are held to be secular, but that signs praising the birth of the Lord are religious. I have no idea what triggered your thinking, but wreathes are not mentioned.
I read court rulings as a hobby, Lou. I do not claim legal expertise, but I dare say, one becomes familiar with the language of the courts following lengthy exposure. Perry Mason doesn't cut it.
I have no intention of showing up for your hearing, Lou. I predict that your complaint will be dismissed, with prejudice. I hope for an award of costs to the defendants, for abuse of process.
