San Diego, CA - Judges Reject City's Appeal To Keep Cross
San Diego, CA - A federal court rejected a last-ditch appeal by the city to keep a giant 29-foot cross standing on municipal property dedicated in 1954 as a memorial to Korean War veterans, after a 17-year legal tussle.
Mayor Jerry Sanders has argued that the cross is an integral part of the memorial and deserves the same exemptions to government-maintained religious symbols as those granted to other war monuments.
But the court disagreed, and ordered the city to remove the cross by Aug. 2 or be fined $5,000 a day.

another example of stupid liberal judges legislating from the bench. there was no problem with this at all and it was not an issue of church and state. but leave it to the lousy libs to mess things up.
