9th Circuit Court of Appeals Rules Mount Soledad Cross Unconstitutional

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."

The ruling overturned a 2008 ruling by U.S. Federal Judge Larry Alan Burns, which said the cross could remain standing because "the memorial at Mount Soledad, including its Latin cross, communicates the primarily nonreligious messages of military service, death and sacrifice," Burns wrote. "As such, despite its location on public land, the memorial is Constitutional."
