I'm beginning to think Michael Savage is right, bring on the RICO statues against the ACLU and put 'em out of business that way. Heck, maybe we can apply RICO to the 9th Circus, whaddya think?

Savage says that? That's intense. No, I trust that the Supreme Court is going to find these clowns out of line. In our free, civilized system of adversarial justice, fighting the ACLU is going to require us to appoint justices who are more skeptical about their (normally) frivolous lawsuits. Justice in this country is a reflection of the men and women our elected leaders appoint for us. Therefore, this is our fault to a large extent.
The American people need to wake up. Our courts are being used as a weapon of mass destruction against our culture. Good laws that should normally protect us from tyranny are being twisted to suggest that our culture must be reshaped.
They frame the arguments and the justices look at our laws and get confused. As to how we can protect the monument once its legal basis has been restored, I don't know. Maybe RICO could apply to the roving bands of thugs who keep defacing it?

To fight this in a principled manner is not going to be easy. But fight it we must. That cross neither represents an establishment of religion, nor an insult to others. The twisted logic that could lead men to believe such dissonant thinking is beyond words. Those men who died for us -- of many faiths -- were fighting for religious freedom against an imperialist Austro-Hungarian empire that was allied with the second Caliphate, the Ottoman empire. If those men had failed, we might well have been subjegated to Islam today, right here in America. Religious freedom is worth defending, and so is the separation of religion and state. But the removal of religion from our culture, which is clearly what the ACLU has won the license to do here, is self-destructive and a tyrannical imposition of amnesia on us as a people. I cannot be ignored.
