Another “federal judge” ordered Los Angeles to remove its seal cross just last year. Next we expect a federal judge to order Los Angeles to change its name, too. Perhaps El Diablo would be more fitting anyway?

Its been building for a long time, but Federal Judges believe they literally have the right to make social policy.

A cross on the seal is not an establishment of religion in any way shape or form - True that it represents the historical founding of the town on Christian principles but that’s not an establishment either. The ruling is bs.

Separation of church and state meant that the government would not force people to participate in a religion that may not have been theirsand fund it with tax dollars. That was the religious oppression early Americans were escaping.
This obsession about not allowing prayer and religious symbols in government is straight crap.

It is FULL of evil symbols:
1. Cross
2. American flag
3. Filthy factories spewing foul pollution making products for our consumer society that nobody needs.
5. Cows emitting farts causing climate catastrophe
6. Liberty Bell representing the Constitution which is an anachronistic “charter of negative liberties” created by old white men.
They better start with a clean sheet of paper. Maybe show some “Lehigh Kneelere”?

A cross on the seal is not an establishment of religion in any way shape or form Never mind that, Pennsylvania isn't mentioned in the First Amendment, Congress, however, is. The reason the establishment clause was included was so that the individual states could have that power.

Smith made it known in his ruling that he was not happy about the decision he had to make but was following the rule of constitutional law, including the establishment clause, which states that Congress may not pass any laws establishing a religion. Congress did not do ANYTHING for him to rule on. Therefore no jurisdiction in this matter. The Lehigh government should announce the ruling is officially nullfied, and display the 1st and 10th Amendments on large placards so the public can be educated in this matter.

A cross (which could simply be interpreted as a letter t if you like) in a county seal is not remotely close to “establishing” a religion.
