THE CROSS STAYS…FOR NOW
San Diego citizens voted overwhelmingly yesterday to protect the cross at Mount Soledad, which has been under fire by secularists. But the fight’s not over yet:
A ballot measure to preserve the Mount Soledad cross on public land in La Jolla easily surpassed the two-thirds support it needed for approval Tuesday night.
But the voters’ decision on Proposition A won’t be the final word. The controversy heads back to court next month.
Two court dates are scheduled in the next three weeks. A Superior Court judge will examine the ballot measure’s constitutionality Aug. 12, and a federal judge will hear cross-related arguments Aug. 15.
The proposition calls for the San Diego City Council to give the 29-foot cross, a concentric set of granite walls and the land around them to the U.S. Interior Department as a national veterans memorial.
The Thomas More Law Center, which has been instrumental in battling the cruciphobes, has a postmortem analysis here.
Smash has a message for the atheist activist trying to bring the cross down: Bug off.
