The ACLU went down in defeat today. The Supreme Court ruled that the Mojave Cross can stay.
(Why this had to go so far in the first place is beyond belief.)
Via FOX News:

US Supreme Court rules Mojave cross can stay, rejecting the church-state challenge by the ACLU.
This was a huge defeat for American communists.
The AP reported:
The Supreme Court has said a federal court went too far in ordering the removal of a congressionally endorsed war memorial cross from its longtime home in California.
The justices said Wednesday that 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 to eliminate any constitutional concern about a religious symbol on public land. |

Perhaps it served merely as a demonstration of the depths to which these anti-religion, secular zealots will sink in their "crusade" to purge this society of the influence of religion...aided and abetted by a liberal/progressive judiciary. They will pursue it even into the realm of private property to project the resolute nature of their zealotry. Extortion by threat of adjudication can work wonders...

Call it a shot across the bow to any governmental or quasi-governmental organization that might dare to "cross" their path. |

A good win for us, but we cannot let our guard down now. It was barely a win, 5 to 4 decision and with the potential of the court ending up further left in the next three years, should one of the conservative justices retire or something else happen and Obama succeed in another left-winged justice on the court, we could easily lose the next challenge.
I know one of the attorney's who did some of the background work on this and other causes in support of Veterans and he sent me the papers on it yesterday. Lengthy read but opinions we need to be aware of.
