The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals today ruled La Jolla's famous Mount Soledad cross to be in violation of the establishment clause of the Constitution.

According to its opinion, the 9th Circuit found that "in adopting the First Amendment, the Founders were prescient in recognizing that, without eschewing religion, neither can the government be seen as favoring one religion over another. The balance is subtle but fundamental to our freedom of religion."

I have some what mixed feelings about this. I am in favor of it because it shows the promotion of a religion others may not agree with is illegal. The USA claims to be fre from any influence by any religious group. To prove that claim it must not allow any public approval of a faith.

I am against it because it does hinder a person's right to display their love of what they believe.

To allow this action leaves the doors open to proclaim any symbol of religion illegal. That may not be a good thing.
