The 4th Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled a cross, in place for 100 years, is now unconstitutional. It is......... well, shaped like a cross and is maintained (flowers and landscaping by teh city government) . And it recognizes sacrifices made in WW1.
I, personally, disagree with the ruling and see no harm in letting the monument stand.
So who ruled in favor of cross removal?
James A Wynn...... First nominated by Clinton, but was never confirmed, and later by Obama in 2010.
Stephanie D Thacker.... Nominated by Obama and confirmed in 2011.
And who dissented?
Chief Roger L Gregory.... Nominated and confirmed in 2001 by Bush, although he was initially placed in a recess appointment by Clinton.
This is why Trump's judicial appointments are important. Obama stacked the courts with whatever liberals he could get, and Trump is busy undoing that damage. Since federal judicial placement are for life, the only way to undo the damage is to try to outnumber the progressives.
The story is all over the internet and news, so I will not cite any particular source.
FWIW: I am a non christian Republican. I do not go to church.

I'm guessing that Judaism would be the next largest religious group after Christians in WW ! America. Out of curiosity I did a search and found one source saying ~250,000 Jews had served in the WW I US Army and ~100,000 in the German Army.
Did you take this story and twist it around to make the Democrats look anti-Christain?
Yes. My intent was to portray Democrats in a bad light. It was fairly easy because they were guilty. Obama appointees made a bad decision.
Your cross was purchased by a private group and still stand intact today. The Ninth declared the case moot.
As you point out, there is no guarantee that Republican appointees always make conservative decisions. In the case of Judge Burns, I am betting that Trump does not nominate him for a seat on The Court of Appeals.
No, it doesn't. Nothing changed the fact that these people who have a problem with a 92 year old monument that honor that ww1 war dead are drama queens. lol

I don't like to look at ugly men. At this point, just agree to disagree.
