Will this fight for a cross wake up American Christians? Gateway has the story:
Leftists Rejoice! A federal judge ruled late Thursday the cross atop Mount Soledad must be removed.

The judge said it’s “unconstitutional.” Todd Starnes at FOX News reported:
A cross atop Mount Soledad in California is an unconstitutional religious display on government land and must come down, a federal judge in San Diego ruled late Thursday.
U.S. District Judge Larry Burns ordered the cross, which honors veterans, must be removed within 90 days — a decision that could result in the case being sent back to the U.S. Supreme Court. Burns immediately stayed his order pending an expected appeal.

Bruce Bailey, president of the Mt. Soledad Memorial Association, expressed disappointment in the ruling.
“It is unfortunate that the Ninth Circuit left the judge no choice but to order the tearing down of the Mt. Soledad Veterans Memorial Cross,” Bailey told Fox News. “However, we are grateful for the judge’s stay that gives us an opportunity to fight this all the way to the Supreme Court.”
