Supporters of San Diego's Mount Soledad cross thought they'd seen the last of a 17-year legal battle over whether the war memorial's presence on city property violated the separation of church and state after President Bush signed ownership of the cross over to the Defense Department earlier this month.While listening to talk radio in San Diego yesterday I heard that the original offended atheist who started this whole battle 17 years ago has just been diagnosed with terminal cancer. It looks like he'll get to find out first hand if there is a God, and if he grades on a curve.
But the fight isn't over for the ACLU. The group has sued the government on behalf of Jewish War Veterans, saying the cross is equally unconstitutional no matter who owns the land.
But supporters say they'll have a better chance of winning the case under federal law.
