Supreme Court: Cross in Mojave Desert can stay!

Well, here is some good news which shows how important it is to have conservatives on the Supreme Court:

The Supreme Court said Wednesday that a federal court went too far in ordering the removal of a congressionally endorsed war memorial cross from its longtime home in California.

In ruling that the cross could stay, the justices said federal judges in California did not take sufficient notice of the government’s decision to transfer the land in a remote area of California to private ownership. The move was designed to eliminate any constitutional concern about a religious symbol on public land.

The ruling was 5-4, with the court’s conservatives in the majority.

The Veterans of Foreign Wars erected the cross more than 75 years ago atop an outcropping in the Mojave National Preserve.

The SCOTUS decision in the Mojave Cross case is a victory for upholding the Free Exercise clause in the First Amendment: http://www.thinkersjam.com/the-mojave-cross-and-the-constitution-both-live-on/
