1. the government is now free to erect crosses wherever it pleases
on federal land. in the middle of national parks, for instance. or on the washington mall.

and if anyone objects, they can simple sell the square foot on which the cross stands to a christian group and get paid for their end run around the constitution.

if a non-christian group really thinks the cross doesn't belong there, they must pay to do anything about it by outbidding all christian groups and then tear down the cross. of course, the government could then just plant a new cross a foot away and start the process all over again.

to say the decision is insane is to give them too much credit.
it's downright nefarious. they KNOW what they're doing.
