9th Circuit Court Sides With ACLU: Destroying Mt. Soledad War Memorial
According to Thomas Moore Law Center:
ANN ARBOR, MI — “A three-judge panel of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has refused to stay Federal District Judge Gordon Thompson’s order to remove the Mt. Soledad Cross pending an appeal. Thus, the City of San Diego must remove the Cross by August 1, 2006, or face fines of $5,000 per day thereafter. In its decision, however, the Ninth Circuit scheduled oral arguments on the matter for the week of October 16, 2006, weeks after the Cross is to be removed. The 43- foot Cross was erected in 1954 and currently is the centerpiece of a national memorial honoring American veterans of all wars.
The Thomas More Law Center, a national public interest law firm based in Ann Arbor, Michigan, has been fighting to save the Cross since 2004 when it received information that the private memorial association operating the memorial site and the City were about to agree to settle the case, which had been on going for 15 years, by removing the Cross.
The Unalienable Right observes:
“The activist liberal 9th Circuit Court of Appeals has essentially sided with those who want to destroy the Mt. Soledad war memorial.
He obviously has a lot on his plate right now, but it would be great if the president stepped in to help save the war memorial. All of our civilization’s enemies aren’t over in the Middle East.”
Indeed.
As it relates, U.S. Newswire reports:
“The national Catholic based advocacy group Fidelis delivered an impassioned letter Friday to the White House urging President Bush to intervene in the 16-year-long legal dispute over the Mt. Soledad Veterans Memorial. The 52-year-old veterans memorial outside San Diego has been under attack by an anti-Christian atheist because the memorial includes a 29-foot cross.”
UPDATE: Thomas Moore Law Center:
Ask President Bush to take the land under the federal government’s powers of eminent domain.
Please sign it!

If we don’t do something about this our country will be unrecognizable in a few years. This makes me ill.

Mt. Soledad Case Goes To Supreme Court
Via ACLJ
Yesterday evening the City Attorney in San Diego along with Mayor Jerry Sanders decided to take the Mt. Soledad case to the Supreme Court of the United States. I have already assembled one of our Supreme Court teams to file briefs on behalf…

Perhaps the powers that be in San Diego should formally and publicly declare that the 9th Court is flat out wrong and issue warrants for the arrest of any 9th Circuit Judge who tries to challenge. That would be unusual, but it would be interesting in that the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals has been long know for over-stepping its authority.

Absolutely SICK!! Who the hell do they think they are?!!?!?!?!?
LEAVE THE VETERANS ALONE ALREADY!
Worthless morons with nothing better to do that trample on the memories of our fallen heroes. The ACLU is full of brain damaged tree hugging fools.

Who paid the 9th circuit to make this decision? No normal, soldier supporting person would do this. Oh, wait, liberals aren’t normal, nor do they have a heart, sorry.

I wonder what items these Judges have on their own front lawns that would be “offensive”? Maybe someone needs to see if there are any ugly, naked flamingoes on their lawns and file a suit to have them removed. (That would be a lawsuit as ludicrous as this one).
