9th circus just keeping the record of the most overturned bs in history.

As one of FR’s admitted atheists, I think this ruling is pure BS. The cross should stand.
The left has nothing better to do with their lives than to end all commonsense, everywhere.
There is an athiest and a Jew who are members of the committe to save the Mount Soledad Cross.
Heck, rule the name Mount Soledad unconstitutional. It refers to Nuestra Senora de la Soledad, a Spanish devotion to the Virgin. It means Our Lady of Loneliness or Solitude, and refers to Mary after the death of her Son.
facts matter not to the 9th Circus
Wow!
If that truely is on private land, the 9th circuit needs to be disbanded.
Change the name of the city too. Naming cities after saints, the nerve.
The black-robed clowns.
Judges on the panel are Pregerson (Carter appointee), McKeown (Clinton) and Paez (Clinton).

Satan never sleeps.
I'm trying to understand your sentence: what does 'must of' mean?
Isn’t the name San Diego unconstitutional?
This is cross at a public park is unconstitutional, but a picture making fun of the crusifixion at the Smithsonian Institute isn’t. Where was the ACLU on the Smithsonian Institute travesty? Is it just me, or do others also see an inconsistancy in how this separation of church and state is applied?

The Constitution is being destroyed. Many judges are some of the most effective agents of destruction. If we don't get back to being a Constitutional Republic as originally intended, the vile atheist/leftist tyranny will destroy what little is left of the freedoms enumerated to us in the Bill of Rights.
The left hates God and all religious expression but loves blasphemy, offense, and perversion. That is who they are.
Amen!
These people are pure evil.
Around where I live, on top of the mountains there is a giant cross. I can see it from my house. I am surprised no one has complained about that. But then again, I don’t live in a liberal area; just old conservative democrats that haven’t realized that the present day democratic party is nothing but a bunch of socialist commies.
