"Kennedy said the court, which refused three years ago to get involved in the dispute, may consider it because of two new factors favorable to cross proponents."

"Cross proponents"? Is this some new media/leftist word for CHRISTIANS? No matter what the final outcome of this case, the fact that a legal debate about whether or not this cross is "constitutional" has climbed all the way up to the Supreme Court is just another sign of how far down the toilet our country has been flushed by the leftists.

This should not even be an issue in America, a nation that was founded by Christians, built by Christians, has prospered on the moral, religious and cultural princples of Christianity, and and has survived on the blood of Christians.

Don't be so small minded. The chairmen of the "Save the Cross" effort which got Prop A on the ballot and passed are practicing Jews (Phil Thalheimer & Myke Shelby). There are other faiths represented as well including, I think, an atheist.

No, it's not. It's not even a left/right argument. The cross wasn't put up by a government entity as a way of saying, this is a Christian Nation. This cross was dedicated as a memorial to Korean War veterans. It has a legitimate historical purpose and there are many non-Christians who support keeping it right where it is.

It should be noted that his country has survived because of the sacrifices of Christians, Jews, Buddhists, Wiccans, Atheists, Agnostics, etc... It has survived because we are an inclusive country that doesn't punish people for failing to toe a specific religious or idological line.

I think the two factors that are now favorable are Alito and Roberts
