ADF: Supreme Court decision on Mojave Cross bolsters defense of Mt. Soledad memorial ADF submits supplementary letter brief in Mt. Soledad case on behalf of American Legion Dept. of Calif.
SAN DIEGO — The Alliance Defense Fund submitted a supplementary letter brief Thursday on behalf of The American Legion Department of California to provide additional defense of the Mt. Soledad veterans’ memorial in light of the latest decision from the U.S. Supreme Court on another veterans’ memorial in California, the Mojave Cross. ADF attorneys filed a friend-of-the-court brief in March 2009 on behalf of The American Legion Department of California in defense of the 55-year-old Mt. Soledad cross after the American Civil Liberties Union and atheist Steve Trunk challenged its constitutionality. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit heard oral argument in December. Case Name: Trunk v. City of San Diego Full news release, quotes, and related media resources available at the following link: http://www.adfmedia.org/News/PRDetail/3495 ADF is a legal alliance of Christian attorneys and like-minded organizations defending the right of people to freely live out their faith.
