Christian American Center for Law and Justice Agrees to Join the Fight

May 8, 2006

(Washington, DC) – The American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ), specializing in constitutional law, said today it will enter the legal battle to save the cross atop Mount Soledad in San Diego in place despite a federal court ordering its removal within 90 days.  A federal court has given the city three months to remove the cross or face stiff fines. 

The ACLJ has offered San Diego Mayor Jerry Sanders legal assistance in the case and says it will – at the very least – file friend-of-the-court briefs in support of the cross if the city’s appeal moves forward.
 
“We believe the City of San Diego has strong legal arguments to ensure that the cross on Mount Soledad remains in place,” said Jay Sekulow, Chief Counsel of the ACLJ.  “The Mount Soledad cross has been in place – in one form or another – for nearly 100 years.  It’s part of a war memorial honoring the men and women who died to defend our freedoms." 

Sekulow said "The ACLU’s lengthy legal battle to remove the cross underscores what most Americans already know – the ACLU will stop at nothing to remove any symbol of our religious heritage and history – even a war memorial.  We believe the City of San Diego must explore every legal, legislative, and political remedy available.  This cross should remain in place and we’re confident there’s legal precedent to support that argument.”
