"Meet you at Peace Cross."
In Northwest D.C. in the 1950s, that was an often-heard comment among high schoolers headed for Ocean City.

Some local lawyer might know the answer to that question.
Last month, two federal judges from the 4th Circuit ruled that Peace Cross “excessively entangles the government and religion” and must come down
Where in our Constitution is that stated? It is not even close. We must stand up and fight these attempts to destroy our Constitution and or nation.
When will the American people insist on Government that honors the Written Constitution deemed supreme law of the land and when will we insist that when the Courts no longer honor the Constitution Judges in every State swear to defend such Courts ought be dismembered and Judges IMPEACHED.When we the people grow weary of the corruption and TYRANNY we will get the Government our Constitution provides for.
