Good News for Modern Man

From the AP: Washington, DC -- The US Supreme Court has ended a challenge to Los Angeles County's decision to remove a cross from the county seal.

The court, without comment, declined to revive a lawsuit filed by a county employee who said the decision in 2004 to alter the seal was a display of hostility toward Christianity.

A US district judge and a federal appeals court had previously rejected those claims.

The county Board of Supervisors voted 3-2 in 2004 to remove the cross from the seal to stave off a threatened lawsuit from the American Civil Liberties Union.
