Arguments over WW1 cross showcase stark religious divide at Supreme Court, and possible split between Trump's two justices

This is the first reporting I've seen that indicates that Ruth Ginsberg is back in court hearing arguments. I guess all the people speculating that she was too sick to ever appear in public again were wrong.

Or: kooky conspiracy theories that the RBG today was a body double, etc.

The Maryland FLAG has crosses in it...

Gee, thanks. Now that you've pointed that out they'll probably change it to THIS.

Peace Cross holds fond memories for me from my youth...glad it is seemingly out of danger.

Was listening to the dumb ass broad try to make a coherent argument for removing it on Laura Ingraham the other night.

These people need to get a life.

Anticipating a SCOTUS decision is a fool’s choice.

As far as I know there’s nothing stopping say, Jewish or Muslim veterans groups in this or any other memorial, to be fair, from putting up their own symbols. But they would still argue that it violates the separation of Church, any Church(s), and State. This arguement is intentionally misleading citing the “establishment clause” while ignoring the equally important second half of the sentence that recognizes the “free exercise of religion” that negates their arguement. Christian crosses do not establish a state sponsored religion that prevents the free exercise of other religions in America.

“What message does that send when people see that on TV, they see crosses all over the country being knocked down?”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Supreme Court may have gotten the message that if you keep knocking down our peace crosses, you might get war.

One can only hope, not that SCOTUS gets the message, but that we would have a war if they keep knocking down crosses and attempting to remove Christ from our country.

it’s almost like both sides are doing this to distract us...

Bush League Republicans are experts at this.
Remember how they used gay “marriage”?
And not a whimper after the Supreme Court edict.

Zero from WWI. The first Mosque in America was built in 1934. And I cannot find the name of a single moslem American soldier who died in WWII.

Went to the American Cemetery in Normandy. Saw a lot of Crosses and Stars of David, but no Crescents.

The murmur they may have heard and heeded is that if the SCOTUS keeps pandering to the anti-Constitutionalists in their interps then there’s no longer any reason have a SCOTUS.

And if it’s gonna be the loudest crybullies win the contests, we’ll bring out our guns and make *all* the noise.

She was back late last week if I have my timing right. It was about a week ago.

Evidently she’s still ticking...

How many Muslim war dead did this country have from World War I????? Any?????

I found two different articles that said roughly 5,000 Muslims served in the American armed forces in WW1. Given that almost 5 million Americans served in WW1, a figure of roughly 0.1% seems reasonable.

Surely some of those 5,000 men were killed in action.

The memorial was for the war dead in the county.

It sends a message to patriots to unfurl that Levoy Finicum battle flag and march to the war drums on the Potomac.
