SAN DIEGO, Calif., July 30 /Standard Newswire/ -- A federal court in San Diego has determined that the cross atop Mt. Soledad in San Diego County does not violate the Establishment Clause. In his 36-page opinion, a federal judge, Larry Burns, ruled that in this case the government's use of religious symbolism did not violate the Establishment Clause.
The cross was first erected in 1913 and has been periodically replaced over the years when damaged. The current 29 foot cross has been in place since 1954 and has served as a war memorial. Congress acquired the cross via eminent domain in 2006. Litigation over the cross began in 1989 and has been ongoing ever since.
Brad Dacus, president of PJI stated, "We are very pleased with this decision and appreciate the hard work of our affiliate attorney, Pete Lepiscopo, on this case."
