The issue is familiar to San Diego residents, who have endured nearly 20 years of litigation over the Latin cross atop Mount Soledad in La Jolla . . .

'I walked in thinking this was going to be predominantly a question of standing that was going to be addressed, but it seems that the court really was more focused on the minutiae of the posture' of the case, said Shafer, senior legal counsel for ADF." ]]> http://www.alliancealert.org/2009/10/09/court-focuses-on-side-issue-in-cross-case/feed/ 0 http://www.alliancealert.org/2009/10/06/a-huge-flap-over-a-small-cross/ http://www.alliancealert.org/2009/10/06/a-huge-flap-over-a-small-cross/#comments Tue, 06 Oct 2009 22:58:23 +0000 Admin http://www.alliancealert.org/?p=38293 WSJ Law Blog: "[Salazar v.
