Obama Judges Rule Cross Monument Must Go, Showing Elections Do Have Consequences


When Republican congressional leaders went to the White House on Jan. 23, 2009—just three days into Barack Obama’s presidency—to discuss legislation, he helpfully reminded them that his policy preferences necessarily had to prevail because “elections have consequences, and at the end of the day, I won.”

Obama is out of office now, but the regrettable consequences of his election remain strewn across the political landscape. Perhaps nowhere is that more consequential than in the makeup of the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.

The 4th Circuit handles cases originating from the states of Maryland, North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, and West Virginia.

Obama appointed six of the eight judges who, on March 1, refused to reconsider a wrongheaded 2-1 ruling of a 4th Circuit panel last fall. That ruling found the World War I memorial Peace Cross in Bladensburg, Maryland, suddenly “unconstitutional” after more than 90 years without controversy.

1. We just went through the same sort of thing here in my town....

the solution was to remove any inference to the local government being involved with it. At some point the put the town name on it and of course it saying GOD & Country caused a complaint. I had the original photos of it and the newspaper articles of the groups that placed it there. It was a replacement memorial from WWII done by the Veterans themselves. They seem to have had the same problem.
By putting it back to its original as built seem to settle the suit filed. Attention was drawn to it by donated landscape work. Eirely this cross is similar to those at Flanders, in shape. Apparently there seems to have been loggerheads that this got that far.
