Too bad, Justice Ginsbarf. You just had to come out of your coffin to tell us your anti-American opinion.
The Cross stays up.
But the stature of Ginsburg and the wise Latino falls low.
“in October 2017, a three-judge panel of the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled 2–1 in favor of removing the cross”
.........
More work needed here by President Trump. A makeover of this court is sorely needed.
I continue to hold that atheism is a form of religion, one end of the diety spectrum - that there isn’t one (contrast eith polythiesm). Therefore the purge of all things religious is in fact attempting to establish atheism as the national religion.
She’ll know, soon enough. Her epitaph will be “exit, stage left.”
I don’t see Justice Gorsuch name anywhere. I wonder how he voted or did he not vote?
Atheism is a belief system based on faith that there is no G-d.
There are both Crosses and Star of David in our national military cemetery’s - must they too be removed Ginsburg?
A cross that says valor standing tall among pansies...
He authored a concurring opinion. He criticizes the concept of the offended observer and would have held that suits like this should be dismissed for lack of standing. He’s 100% correct, IMO, and it’s a shame his view didn’t prevail, but at least this decision went the right way in general.
Gorsuch voted with the majority.
FROM HUFFINGTON POST:
Justice Clarence Thomas wrote his own concurring opinion, yet joined another concurring opinion by Justice Neil Gorsuch.
That should now protect every cross on public land in America. Now add those mayors, congress critters and other political animals who opposed this to the list of pols that need to be defeated next year.
I think I’m glad the ruling went the way it went. I am concerned however that Ginsberg has a valid point. I would prefer that a Star of David not mark my grave. The fact is however that in our day and time as in the last 200 plus years of our country the cross has meant more than Christianity, although it can certainly mean that. Was there a section in the cemetery for various religions?
I would never be in favor of removing the Cross, Star of David or Crescent but if I was a Jew and there was only a Cross I might be inclined to complain that I too need a marker.
For war heroes. I hate people sometimes & I try to never use that word.
Ginsburg and Sotomayor. Gee, I sort of makes one want to root for cancer and diabetes to do their worst—and soon.
Yes...Great news...
These are the types of rulings the LEFT truly feared, (not abortion)... With a constructionalist court the insane rulings from the late 50s and 60s that created the “freedom from religion” nonsense will be overturned, and once they are, the left starts to lose the playing field, and they know it.
