The seven-foot-tall memorial cross, erected in 1934 by World War I veterans as a war memorial to honor all fallen soldiers, stands in the midst of the 1.6 million-acre Mojave Preserve. The legal case arose when a former National Park Service (NPS) employee living in Oregon sued for the memorial's removal. Following attempts by Congress to designate the memorial as a national memorial and to transfer the land to the VFW, the District Court and Ninth Circuit Court both ruled that the memorial is unconstitutional and must be removed. The court also ordered the memorial covered with a plywood box until the U.S. Supreme Court ruling.

It appears this football has been kicked around for awhile now.

My bet is that many would like to know the name of the former NPS employee who started this little charade.

If thats the case then every single cross in every national cemetery is in the same position.

Oregon has this go on all the time. There is this group called 'Friends of Oregon', it is anything but. They are not from Oregon but they tell us they know better than us how we should live.
The federal government has caught the Forrest Service changing evidence on on court cases and will not fire them just transfer them. This coming from a NPS here doesn't surprise me at all.

Bringing it back for an update:
The Supreme Court has ruled in favor of keeping the memorial, 5-4. CLose decision, but at least they made the right one!

They really should make the ACLU remove the A from their name.

The ACLU would make a case to remove the crack of my ass for breaking wind in public.

The cowards only work by night, this is no different than stealing from a collection plate or from a salvation army pot. These people are scum of the earth.

I am sure we could come up with the steel if we could get some volunteers from out that way to go put one back up.

In the meantime, the City that I once loved but is now broke on the verge of bankruptcy caused by carpet baggers from the east pulls this (http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2010/05/13/BA071DDM55.DTL).

Where is the ACLU? Oh that's right it's not a religious symbol, it's art.

You are forgetting the fundamental rule of Progressive Socialism: only Christian religious symbols are evil.

Allegedly the memorial (http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article/article?f=/n/a/2010/05/20/state/n120254D31.DTL) has been reinstalled.

Yeah, and I have a pretty good idea why.

Read an article that put forward the position that the ACLU suit was moot after the cross was stolen, and that would allow the Park Service to go ahead with the land swap that would give that rock to the VFW. So, in a panic, the losers put the cross back up to keep the law suit alive--and how in the hell are they getting in and out of there, working at night, and not being caught? A little Park Service assistance--remember, it was a Park Service employee POS that filed the suit to start with.
