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 ?

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.

He’s saying he has no spine to do the right thing and instead is cowering to follow more current trend then the actual foundations of our country.
He’s saying he puts his job above doing the right thing,
He’s saying he’s not up to the challenge of standing firm with our forefathers, but wants to save face and not annoy people who likely would find a way to retaliate if he allowed the cross to stay put.
If as he writes the cross would be allowed by our Founding fathers than that is the only basis the judge needed to make his ruling. He could have left it at that and let the whiners take it to supreme court instead he took the easy way.
We have way too many wimpy judges ruling from ease and feelings and twisted cases over the years than from roots of our country’s foundational documents and their intent.

He’s saying that if he was to rule in accordance with the Constitution, as intended by those who gave it to us, he would rule in favor of keeping the cross in the park.
