Appeals court set to rule on fate of Soledad Cross

San Diego News: “The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit heard the case on Dec. 9, but no decision is imminent since the three judges are waiting for the U.S. Supreme Court to hear the Mojave cross case Salazar vs. Buno‘ . . . ‘My impression is that the panel was attempting to reconcile its old views with the Supreme Court precedent, which is now very favorable to the cross,’ Infranco said. ‘This is a panel that, based on its history, would not be friendly to our perspective. Any panel, regardless of each judge’s philosophy, is still bound by Supreme Court decisions.’”
