Crossed!

This cross in the middle of a Maryland highway can stand says the U.S. Supreme Court.

The decision of The American Legion v. American Humanist Association was decided.

In a 7-2 decision, the Supreme Court ruled that 40-foot tall World War I memorial cross can continue to stand on public land in Maryland. The Court ruled that religious symbols can be used on public lands.

So don't get angry when a Muslim crescent or a Satanist inverted pentagram or any symbol is on public lands. This could open the door to all religions to place symbols on public places or memorials.

The justices said preserving a long-standing religious monument is very difficult from allowing the building of a new one. And the court concluded that the nearly 100-year old memorial's presence on a grassy highway median doesn't violate the Constitution's prohibition on the government favoring one religion over others. Seven of the court's nine justices sided with the backers of the cross.

The case decision impacts other memorials with the cross.

This case also marks how far the court's conservative majority will destroy religions that aren't Christian. This will allow any religious institution to pay for the building of a symbol on public roads and folks can't get upset over it. Sure, some will deface or destroy it (in case of Satanism). But the court has protected the freedom of speech and religion. So anyone can build a religious memorial on the side of a highway without a court challenge.

The court support came from Chief Justice John Roberts along with Court Associates Stephen Breyer, Elena Kagan, Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, Bret Kavannaugh and Neil Gorsuch.

The two who disagreed with the decision were Court Associates Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Sonia Sotomayor.

The Roberts Court is to the right, to the right....

What makes this decision so controversial, the far-white is trying force Christianity on those who aren't followers of it. They looked at non-Christian, atheists and agnostic folks as.............pick your word vomit!

Gorsuch and Thomas were willing to throw out the lawsuit from the challengers.

Alito wrote in the decision.

"The cross is undoubtedly a Christian symbol, but that fact should not blind us to everything else the Bladensburg Cross has come to represent and that "destroying or defacing the Cross that has stood undisturbed for nearly a century would not be neutral and would not further the ideals of respect and tolerance embodied in the First Amendment."

The freedom of religion and freedom of speech will be upheld by the seven Supreme Court Justices who favored this over rationality.
