Jay Sekulow of ACLJ, the org that can kick the ACLU's butt, had a petiton online about this cross to save it. The whole situation is an affront to the veterans and to the people of San Diego, and ACLU's is doing the slapping. Anyway, I signed Sekulow's petition. Anything to stop ACLU.

>>"It's pretty clear you can't display a Latin cross 365 days a year on top of city hall," said Douglas Laycock, a church-state expert at the University of Texas law school. "But this cross isn't at city hall, and it's been there for a long time."<<

I don't get this. Why has it become relevant how old a religious expression is - why did we lose the right of religious expression at some arbitrary point in American history - "This monument is protected but this one was built 10 years later - after freedom of religion was taken away so down it comes."

Isn't it amazing how the ACLU (Against Christian Liberties Unanimously) said nothing when a CA school forced their students to become Muslims for a whole week, adopting Muslim names, uttering prayers to Allah, and even conducting a Jihad, or saying nothing when an idol of a Mexican pagan god was erected in the middle of a city square in CA, paid for by tax dollars on gov't property?

The ACLU remains our "legalized" version of terrorists in America --- attacking everything that IS AMERICA. While, of course, our despicable Washington government just looks on and keeps supporting the ACLU, and all of its anti-Americanism.

I am pleased to tell my colleagues on this board that I have been involved in the Soledad Cross case in three ways. First, I indirectly advised the San Diego City Attorneys Office on how to file its request for Emergency Relief from the US Supreme Court.

I have sought such relief in several cases, and had it both denied, and granted. The City Attorneys Office had no experience in such steps.

I also wrote sections of appeals briefs in both the state and federal appeals of court orders telling the City that it had to tear down the Cross.

If the Senate follows the lead of the House and passes the bill to have the Cross taken over by the Department of Defense, that should defang the litigation which was directed at the (current) owner, San Diego. If so, the ACLU will probably mount a new legal challenge, suing the federal government this time.

Whatever happens, this issue will eventually wind up in the Supreme Court. And I believe, based on certain decisions of the new Roberts Court, that it will uphold this as a war memorial.

P.S. Interested in a Freeper in Congress? Keep in touch with me.

We put up a flag and the memorial walls so that we could satisfy the court's concern that a visitor from Kansas could tell it was a war memorial and not the Christian church promoting religion

But it wasn't enough. ACLU liberals recoil from the cross like vampires. It's the very sight of the cross that offends them because they hate the one true Lord and His followers.

Since the cross is not a law passed by congress regarding the establishment of a national religion, it is not unconstitutional.

If the supreme court decides against religious symbols being maintained in public places then a law should be passed to tear down the supreme court building because it is covered with religious symbols!Let the idiot judges set outside with folding lawn chairs and tables to issue their rulings which always say,"the majority be damned"!
