They don't. They represented clients who were, in fact, veterans.
The decision was handed down by U.S. District Judge Larry Burns.
I understand the logic behind the ruling, but I am disappointed nonetheless. I don't know the details of the transfer of ownership from the city to the federal government, but I don't understand why the land couldn't have been sold or transferred to a private owner, thus protecting the landmark.
It was a small group of jewish veterans who were against it and the rest were people who have no business at all. It still does not make sense because they only represent a minority of the veterans who were against it, what about the majority. The ACLU had a political agenda and it starts with a big O.
It's everyone's business, regardless of the opinion of any particular person or group.
"Big O"?
Most of the people serving are Christian. If that's how you feel Pcuser why don't you pull out all the crosses at Arlington. I respect the Jewish soldiers or whatever religion ,belief, or nonbeliefs they have but why ruin something for everyone else. They could have put a Jewish statue up there if they wanted to but they didnt
Pulling the crosses out at Arlington? Did you do your research? The VA offers dozens of authorized faith emblems for headstones and markers at Arlington, and thus is not in violation of the Establishment Cause.
