WASHINGTON - The Supreme Court has said a federal court went too far in ordering the removal of a congressionally endorsed war memorial cross from its longtime home in California.

We know who are friends are.
This is a huge WIN.
Hoping for some legal expert to relieve me of my fear (based on a brief skim of the decision) that there might be less here than meets the eye.
YOU are cynical! What ever happened to the “Show Me” spirit of MO?
“I sure can’t regret my votes for Dubya.”
I know I sure don’t.
We are holding the line here by a very slim one point.
Thank God for the supreme court to right that wrong. It is such a shame what they had done to this country. Visited that cross before and it is such a beautiful place with the cross as lighting beam for many to see while driving up.
Does this mean this farce is finally over?
Seems like it’s going back to lower court. Not over.
I haven’t looked at the actual decision, but it looks like the holding is that the government can make the area where the cross is private property within the national park. That was their plan to avoid Constitutional problems, but the lower court stopped them from doing so.
But going back to lower court so that they might reconsider their decision based on SC’s ruling.
and it was a 5-4 ruling... why am i not surprised?
Great!
Another victory for a long battle fought by Duncan Hunter.
[6.7] Duncan Hunter, the California Republican who sponsored legislation transferring control of the Mount Soledad Memorial to the federal government. [6.8]http://www.cpedia.com/wiki?q=Mount+Soledad&guess_ambig=Jolla+Playhouse+Mount+Soledad+Birch+Aquarium+San+Diego+Museum+
I see the vote was 5 to 4...the usual holdouts, including Sotomayor???
ABC radio news reporting that the USSC ruled that the cross can stay on public land.
AAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
It’s not on public land, it’s been transferred to private land.
It appears that 4 members of the court may not be American.
THE CROSS CAN STAY
Revel in that!
Amen to your post! (love your tagline, too!)
Thank God!
But will Obama go through with the sale?
That’s the problem with these things dragging on for years.
Cross = Bamiyan Buddhas?
Obama = Taliban?
Hopin’ and prayin’ you’re right and that this is the end of it!
