The whole thing could have been avoided if the local government deeded the small area of land to a non profit group willing to maintain the cross.

One day, they will all bow their knees to the King of Kings. So much for their offense.

The ungodly have already lost the battle against Jesus. They just don’t know it yet.

The city could have some fun with this if they wished to, fence off the area, call it a sensitive area and strictly prohibit human traffic. Grant the Judge and ONLY the Judge permission to the closed property for the purpose of removing the cross. Disallow any and all construction equipment on the property by non city employees. Give the Judge a shovel and tell him to have at it.

Just plain wrong. Tolerance should be a two way street. Same with the removal of Confederate Monuments. The Courts and half our communities are nuts!!

Thank you Obama for pushing for these kinds of "Get rid of the Christians". How Muzzie of you.

“The historical record indicates that the Founding Fathers did not intend for the Establishment Clause to ban crosses and religious symbols from public property,” he wrote. “Indeed, ‘the enlightened patriots who framed our constitution’…would have most likely found this lawsuit absurd. And if I were deciding this case on a blank slate, I would agree and grant the plaintiffs no relief. But, alas, that is not what we have here.”

what is he saying exactly ?

This is a false understanding of the law. The US Constitution does itself refer to “Our Lord” in it’s ending statement.

“The cross was totally unavoidable to park patrons, and to have citizens foot the bill for such a religion symbol is both unfair and unconstitutional.”

So, apparently, people were running into it?

Wonder what the bill amounted to? It was there for decades...what could it cost to keep standing? Paint it every few years???

It could also have been avoided if people had fought these ignorant/lying federal judges for the last 60 years.

The Constitution does not prohibit religious expression on public land. The Constitution itself ends with the words "Year of our Lord" ...

He is saying that because of established law/cases ruled prior, he had no choice. What needs to happen is for the case to go to the Supreme Court and have 5 constitutionally oriented judges rule the opposite.

The Right Honorabl Judge knows it, too. He knew it all hus like. But when the pukes on that era’s Supreme Cabal ruled against it, he gleefully jumped aboard. IMHO.

We are a Christian nation, established on the principles of Natural Law, the invincible Laws of God. We are not an atheist nation or a humanist nation or an Islamic nation. As Christians we welcome all faiths to join us in good will to nurture this nation in freedom and dignity.
Yes, we are a Christian nation. We are a nation of loving, caring people who respect those who respect us and help those most in need. We will not, however, surrender our faith to the faithless or our God to the Godless.

“”I bet its ok to have a call to prayer blaring from a mosque loudspeaker 5 times a day.””

If I lived in an area where this was happening, I would be organizing citizens to take it to court and put an end to it. If an inanimate object like a cross can be interpreted to mean “establishing a religion”, then certainly the noise from their loudspeakers is also. There can be many people who never SEE the cross in question but who can escape the NOISE from their loudspeakers?

What is the matter with people? Fight fire with fire and put an end to this madness.

We don’t need to remove this judge . . . we need him to oversee Hillary’s trial for gross negligence of confidential governmental communications. There is no “intent” provision in the law of her crimes.

“The law is the law” he says. He would have to convict her. Then he would have to apply the federal conviction guidelines. Those would see her in prison for a nice long time applied regularly

Judge shopping at its best.
