Oh well...let’s build them a mosque. I am sure that will not create any problem Crosses..? What an insult to islam. They should have thought about that, indeed.

Religion is bad, unless it’s islam.

I wonder if the symbol put on the roadside was based on the religion of the deceased officer?

I’ll be waiting to hear obama call the court out on this. Like I said, I’ll be waiting....zzzzzzz.....waiting....zzzz.

[Tzimisce]

....can I put a Muslim Crescent?

If we jailed 100% of the Federal judges we would be doing the right thing 95% of the time. I really am starting to like those odds.

...but lying about your Military service is ok. Got it.

The liberal war against Christianity increases pace ...

[Carley]

Didn’t a Denver judge rule that it’s fine to lie about military medals earned?

[Man50D]

Another deliberate distortion by the Commies. The first sentence " Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion". This only pertains to the establishment of a national church. Excluding that fact, Congress did not create a law requiring the crosses be placed along any roads when a police officer is killed.

[abigailsmybaby]

It’s not the federal government putting them up.

[Monorprise]

The irresponsibility of the 14th amendment strikes again!

[Vaduz]

Court rules Constitution unconstitutional.

[Brytani]

My understanding is that these crosses are paid for and cared for with private contributions then placed on lands paid for by the taxpayers. As long as a Jewish officers family would be allowed to place the Star of David, a Muslim officer allowed to put their Crescent moon, etc there should be NO restrictions.

Having read a good deal of the writings of our founding fathers, I can not believe a single one would agree with this court decision. Even Thomas Jefferson himself would be shocked to learn one sentence of his has been twisted outside its original intent and placed onto the Constitution as a de-facto Constitutional right.

I don’t really care to see these roadside memorials but not for religious reasons. I just think they are in poor taste. I also hate to see these rolling epitaphs that people put on their cars; “In Loving Memory of John Doe, blah, blah, blah. Once again, it’s poor taste. But it’s their car and their choice.

The Denver-based 10th US Circuit Court of Appeals said that the 12-foot-high crosses bearing the name and badge number of deceased officers sent an unconstitutional religious message to motorists on the state’s highways.

What about these crosses? Are they unconstitutional too?

[bill1952]

Then why aren’t crosses on graves in graveyards unconstitutional?
The government can regulate what words that we are allowed to speak, and can jail you for “hate” crimes (thoughtcrime) so how can the extension over private graves be far behind?
Don’t they insult our muslim masters?

[Logic n' Reason]

One assumes this has to do with separation of church and state?

If so....simply move the crosses back until they are no longer on "gummint" owned right of way.

Of course, one would have to convince the owner of the private property to allow the crosses to be placed there.

What would one then do with a muslim land owner??

[Chickensoup]

Interesting, in Europe and Asia the same leftists go gaga over roadside shrines as blahblah...cultural landmarks.
