Mt. Soledad Cross's Victory in Congress Won't End CourtBattles, Supporters Say

By Jenni ParkerAugust 2, 2006

(AgapePress) - Conservative political leaders and pro-family advocates are applauding the U.S. Senate's swift, unanimous passage last night of the Bill to Preserve the Mount Soledad Veterans Memorial. Strongly opposed by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), the legislation provides for the federal government's immediate acquisition of the embattled San Diego veterans memorial, which features a 29-foot-tall cross.

Transferring the land and the memorial to the Federal Government places the memorial under the protective wing of the DOD. That is the good news. The government has deep pockets and can withstand a barrage from the ACLU much better than the city of San Diego. It should also make the current lawsuit go away as it was based on the cross being unconstitutional under the California Constitution.

The votes in the House (349-74; July 19, 2006) and Senate (Unanimous: August 1, 2006) on the bill to take federal control of the Mount Soledad Veterans Memorial literally flew through congress. It would appear that our elected representatives’ might…, possibly…, perhaps be listening to us for a change. But then again, it is an election year.

The bad news is it will probably not stop the Leftist Secularists from their goal of removing all signs and symbols of Christianity from public view. My guess is that the California lawsuit, as I speak, is being recast and filed as being federally unconstitutional. The same federal judge will agree and it will then appealed to the Ninth Circus… uh, Circuit who will sanctimoniously agree.

“In the court room of honor
the judge pounded his gavel
to show all is equal
and the courts are on the level.”
