This fight is pointless. The ACLU has been suing and having crosses removed from seals all over this country for a few years now. And the Supreme Court has consitently ruled in thier favor.

Until our congressional leaders get serious about their responsibilities to regulate a run-a-muck judiciary we the people are just wasting out time, dollars, and breath fighting this thing.

Some citizens group should draft some proposed ammendments etc and use it as a lithmus test for electing house and senate represenatives.

but isn't it odd that Atlantic City has just announced two NEW GOVERNMENT HOLIDAYS will be established on two Islamic holy days?

Or how about Cal State Northridge banning Hillel and the Newman Club from campus yet HOSTS the bleating of the ram's horn heard all over the Valley every Ramadan?

I understand your frustration, but fighting against evil is **never** "pointless"!

On your sugegstion, maybe people should protest compliant Congress of both parties who give good 'lip service' to the cause, but then fail to impeach all these radical activist judges. you do make a good point. But again, if no one made any noise and protested this filth of the ACLU, then it would be even worse.

I don't think the Supreme Court has ruled on this issue. I would think that if the issue came before the supreme court that they would state categorically that if a city has a religious heritage that it would be perfectly permissible for that city to reflect that heritage in their official seal as it would serve a secular purpose to recognize that heritage.

My guess is that if one of these cases made it to the supreme court that the SCOTUS would rule unanimously that a cross on the seal of a city founded by missionaries from the Catholic Church was constitutionally permissible.

The fight is not pointless. The ACLU has not been winning all the cases. Additionally the Establishment Clause in the Constitution is under examination in the Supreme Court. LA County acted prematurely by rolling over and playing dead.

As the largest County in the USA with a population over 10 million, we must stand up to the bullying of the ACLU, which only has a membership of over 400,000.
