The courts probably won’t let them replace it.

“The courts probably won’t let them replace it.”

The 75-year-old monument was the target of a legal challenge from the ACLU, which charged the cross is a religious symbol that shouldn’t be allowed on public land. The U.S. Supreme Court last month refused to order that it be torn down, as the land had already been sold to private owners.

According to one of the articles I’ve read today, the Supreme Court decided that the cross could stay because it was now on private property. So replacing it should not become a matter for the courts. The cross will be there as long as veterans want to keep it up; which I hope is forever.

The vandalism is just a matter of sore losers “acting out” after the fact. The little pukes will probably surface in a day or two celebrating their great “accomplishment.”

They will eventually be caught. For their sakes, they had better hope it is law enforcement that catches them when the time comes.

Yup. It will never be replaced. Libs say that a cross on private property is now a violation of separation of church and state.
