Indeed. Regardless, they weren't just handed the position. Sure they may be ignorant of many subjects and issues, but thats why they hear cases, have evidence presented, and of course have extensive backgrounds in law. It is disingenuous, dishonest, and intellectual laziness to dismiss any of them as such.

That's adorable coming from those who've been trying to get their handpicked judges/justices through the door in an attempt to overturn Roe Vs. Wade and Obergefell vs. Hodges.
Like spay painting a Jewish star on a mosque would be "embiggenment"?
I understand that you're being sarcastic. But this is rather a large issue, a SCOTUS issue. You PC people are causing a lot of unnecessary problems. I'll thank you to go back to your shed and drink yourself Scottish. I've got my heritage and y'all have yours.

You're missing that this cross is on public property.
So there's an establishment issue.
By broadening the religious references, the problem is mitigated.
The Constitution should matter to you.

The memorial cross is a constant reminder that these soldiers died for a Christian God, and not some un-existing fake god that would otherwise render their deaths as meaningless, and besides that, it gives the righteous a warm and fuzzy.
Hmmmm.... come to think of it, I do feel warm and fuzzy about the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
NEVER!!
Matt 23:29-Matt 23:32 NIV “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You build tombs for the prophets and decorate the graves of the righteous. And you say, ‘If we had lived in the days of our ancestors, we would not have taken part with them in shedding the blood of the prophets.’ So you testify against yourselves that you are the descendants of those who murdered the prophets. Go ahead, then, and complete what your ancestors started!

Establishment vs endorse. One is in the Constitution, the other is not. Besides the Legion pick it not the government.

Splitting hairs, and how can a government that plays favorites with religion fairly represent all citizens?
Shad

Nope. That is the wording of the Establishment clause.
The Legion picked the Cross not the government. The government funded a war memorial not a religion so this is not a fairness issue.

jesus didn't believe in a christian god, nor worry about one. there is not christian god, there was only god that existed and exists long before christian became a thing.
obviously the christian god is impotent; if it can't fight for itself. thus christian want a "christian" god.
Apples and oranges.
nope, you're doing it right now by justifying 'your' differences in the fruit of the spirit. jesus didn't build monuments to the dead. god is not a respecter of persons
justice is to serve the living and not the dead. god is alive and well. god will remain long after man made monuments have returned to dust. like babylon
Ecclesiastes 9:5 [Full Chapter]
For the living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing; they have no further reward, and even their name is forgotten.

I know that the monument is on public property.
And being maintained by taxpayer dollars.
I pointed that out, upthread somewhere.
Perhaps your reading skills are less than optimum.
I like maintaining some aspects of heritage.
I don't want people like you forbidding the local Philharmonic playing excellent religious music.
I don't want people like you carving PC symbols into the ancient Egyptian artifacts in the Tutankamen exhibit.
I don't want people like you blowing up mosques a thousand years old.
I want to preserve the heritage. It's what it is, and I like it. Even if it isn't PC.

And no, I don't think that the Constitution is Holy Writ. Nor do I think that your interpretation of it is as good as mine.
Tom
So long as it's your religious heritage, eh.
Well, I preserved it, & then expanded it to include others.
I know you believe in the Christian God,
because you work so hard to make him cry.
And copious tears sure do floweth down from above this past year.

I do believe this is what is called a Pyrrhic victory - Wikipedia , due to something called Cobra effect - Wikipedia
