    Out in the middle of the desert,

    Hidden from view to anyone on any road is not hidden enough for the ACLU.

    Yes, the Constitution states in clear terms that the "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion ". Congress did just that when they established this memorial as a national monument due to its intent. But it gets better.

    The proposed solution that is being heard in SCOTUS, (and not surprisingly missing from this article) is a land trade. Congress and the parks service has agreed to trade the acre of land upon which sits this 5 to 8 foot tall cross for 5 acres elsewhere. That would make this cross private, not public, property. The private person who will make the trade with Uncle Sam has been the caretaker of this monument for many years.

    The ACLU is fighting that solution as well....Even though it is constitutional. They just want that cross taken down.

      Right on, Solar Sanitizer!

      I believe the majority of the United States men who fought in our two World Wars were Christians . If someone would like to add a Star of David or statue of Budda, I doubt if there would be a fuss made by the Christian community. I wonder if the ACLU would tolerate this either?
