Decades old war monument in peril

[Balta1701]

Gosh, decided on a 5-4 decision. Who'd have imagined that? I wonder who the 5 were on the majority.

The Supreme Court has ruled a white cross, erected as a war memorial and placed on national parkland in the California desert, does not violate the constitutional separation of church and state.

 

The 5-4 majority concluded Congress acted properly when it tried to transfer land around the Mojave Memorial Cross to veterans groups, an effort to eliminate any Establishment Clause violation. A federal appeals panel had blocked that property swap.

 

At issue before the justices was whether the display fundamentally violates the first ten words of the Bill of Rights: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion."

I agree with this decision.
