Utahs roadside memorial crosses have to go, court rules
The tall crosses memorializing fallen Utah Highway Patrol troopers will not come down anytime soon even though a federal appeals court ruled Wednesday that they violate the U.S. Constitution.
The decision, which holds implications for roadside memorial crosses across the nation, likely will be appealed by the state and the nonprofit group that erected themonuments.
They could either ask the full 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to hear the case or appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Wednesdays ruling by a three-judge panel of the Denver-based circuit court striking down a lower federal court decision was applauded by those who want to keep church and state separate and decried by those who see it as another nudge pushing religion out of the public square.

I know what liberals will say: But, but but, that's PUBLIC PROPERTY, and the mosque is on PRIVATE PROPERTY.
Yeah, PUBLIC PROPERTY THAT WE PAY FOR WITH OUR TAXES.
But Saudi Arabia and Iran help pay for a mosque at ground zero???????? NO PROBLEM!!!!!!!!
THIS is the liberal idea of "freedom of religion" in the USofA.
