This is good news. An aspect of it concerns me, though.
The "justices" (and I use that term graciously, given that we're talking about the 9th Circus) seemed to come to the somewhat labored conclusion that because the monument seems pretty irrelevant due to its placement and location, it's okay.
Is the message we're to infer from this then that "As long as religion is irrelevant, it's okay to have it bare its ugly head in public?"
That is exactly it, Mr. Ellis. As long as the mention of God is percieved as incidental, symbolic, insincere, or irrelevant it is OK. That's why Bill Clinton could go to church (after being serviced by Monica back at the O.O.)and tote his Bible under his arm, but the MSM knew he wasn't serious so no crys of "impending theocracy" were heard. On the other hand when President Bush proclaimed his faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, great wails of alarm went up at the NYT and CNN. They knew Bush was sincere and therefore a great threat to our democracy.
Cries, not "crys" for goodness sake. I must have had a brain cramp.
