And the liberal atheists are going bonkers.

And the court concluded that the nearly 100-year-old memorial’s presence on a grassy highway median doesn’t violate the Constitution’s prohibition on the government favoring one religion over others.
An earlier article, written before the decision was released, said the same thing:
https://wtop.com/supreme-court/2019/02/supreme-court-considers-fate-of-cross-shaped-war-memorial/slide/1/The cross’s challengers include three area residents and the District of Columbia-based American Humanist Association, a group that includes atheists and agnostics. They argue that the cross’s location on public land violates the First Amendment’s establishment clause, which prohibits the government from favoring one religion over others.
Is that what the First Amendment says? That's not the way I remember it. Lemme see ... Oh, yeah:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
I ain't a lawyer, but it seems to me that allowing members of a particular religion to erect a memorial on public land is a very different thing from the government declaring that henceforth [___] is THE religion of the land. Not only that, if one is intellectually honest (which, of course, liberals and politicians aren't), the strict language of the First Amendment says nothing about the government "favoring" one religion over another; it only prohibits the government from
establishing a religion [as the official religion of the nation].
