SCOTUS rules Bladensburg Cross stays; decicion 7 to 2.

SCOTUS decision 7 to 2 !  Not even close.

NY Daily News: Supreme Court rules giant cross can remain on public land.
A controversial concrete cross honoring fallen soldiers can remain on public land in suburban Washington, the Supreme Court ruled Thurs`day.

In a 7 to 2 decision, the justices reversed a lower court ruling that found the giant cross standing 40-feet tall at a traffic intersection in Bladensburg, Md., was an unconstitutional religious endorsement.

The decision was a final rebuke of the 2014 lawsuit filed by the American Humanist Association that argued the cross’ presence on public land, and the tax dollars used to maintain it, amounted to an unconstitutional endorsement of a single faith.

The group, based in Washington, sued along with local resident Steven Lowe, who lived 4 miles away from the cross and passed it about once a month.

...the lawsuit said. “As a non-Christian, Mr. Lowe is personally offended and feels excluded by this governmental message."
The American Humanist Association?  Who Dis?

And Who Dey? Dey be Dis fine group of folks.

Didn't search out Steven Lowe. Don't care. Tired of antics like this. "Mr. Lowe was personally offended." You see, he's never felt "excluded". Ever. Oh. Dat's. So. Sad. We can all agree on one thing, never in history has someone suffered such a degree of inhumane injustice and indignity. Never. Mr. Lowe is a martyr. Goodspeed, Mr. Lowe. Godspeed. Enjoy your monthly drive-by.

May this short clip offer all The Libs indulging in a Self-Pity party over today's decision, and whose hearts are crushed, some comfort (NSFW-language):
