So how does the ACLU allow veteran's cemeteries with the religious headstones ?

The sale originally was upheld but later ruled unconstitutional by the full panel of the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco and remanded back to district court to work out a remedy.You'd think that the commonsense solution would be the transfer of land ownership. However, the sale was ruled "unconstitutional...". Can any of our expert FReepers tell us why that sale would have been unconstitutional?

Well in that case, why don't we track down the atheist a-hole who filed the lawsuit and use the cross to crucify him.

"The courts have struck down those transfers in the past."
On what grounds!?

Judge Gordon Thompson - A Nixon Appointee from 1970. I never have been a fan of his court appointments - better than Carter & Clinton but then who wasn't?
This is another case of "I'm offended - take it away before I get offended again!" No matter how it is pointed out that the US Constitution prohibits government support of any particular religious operation or effort, the ACLU and the Social Liberals trot out Jefferson's letter as proof of total church-state separation.
A letter, not a law or amendment that was voted upon, and yet this is their PROOF! We have had nothing like this attack until the Earl Warrne court and the conversion of the judiciary into a law-making body that John Marshall wouldn't recognize in his worst nightmare. A pox on the 9th Circuit and may all who deserve it get the gout! Bah!

What about all the crosses in the national cemeteries. I'm waiting for the ACLU et al to bring suit to turn all crossroads into traffic circles ... you know how insidious religious symbolism is and with so many people flying these days ... Remember it is generally the government that builds and maintains these religious symbols - Oh BARF!

Considering that the ruling came from the ninth circuit, it more than likely is constitutional.
The SCOTUS overturns the 9th so often, they should be sending them a bill.

Well San Diego can take down the cross, put up a flag pole, and raise the Mexican flag. That should satisfy the judge and many politicians at the same time.

But wouldn't that make those intersections look like Celtic Crosses??

Perhaps someone can create a nest for a spotted owl in the cross so federal law would prevent its removal.

I'm wondering if the city government has become less interested in protecting the religious freedoms of it's citizens since this issue first arose 17 years ago.
I suspect that the city government would like to give in and agree with the ACLU and the liberal judge.
I suspect that is the reason why the citizens had to use a ballot issue to keep the city government from caving in and removing it.
I suspect that if the city simply refuses to obey the courts, the State would cut off any State funds they might receive. The Federal government might do the same eventually, but that would likely take another decade or two to work it's way through the courts.

In a ruling now on appeal, however, a Superior Court judge found the transfer unconstitutional. I never understood this. How can a uncoerced transfer of one's own (the city's) property be considered unconstitutional? Idiocy.

Once again the will of the people is negated by a single judge, a referendum was passed, the citizens (including me) signed the petition's and one person sez you live in my world, what happened to majority rule ??? Call every talk show in the land this cannot happen.

"why don't we track down the atheist a-hole who filed the lawsuit and use the cross to crucify him."
I was thinking about that as an appropriate fate for the judge. If we Christians acted like Muzzies they wouldn't dare act the way they do.
I always believed the ACLU was the American Communist Lawyers Union. My wrong?

Too bad we can't put the judge up on that cross... We've already had a "judge" on a cross. No other sacrifices are needed. Judge Thompson needs to be at the foot of this cross on his knees, if we wants to escape judgement.

Who is the judge going to send to enforce it? Judges don't have armies.

Good evening.
"What happens if the city refuses to take down the cross, or pay the fine?"
I've often wondered what would happen if a municipality were to just say no to the Judges.
Who gives the order to enforce the ruling and what do the agents of TPTB do to enforce the ruling?
