10th Circuit Court Of Appeals Travesty

Maybe the pinheads of the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals that call themselves judges have been living in the high altitude of Denver too long and have come down with Alzheimer's. Perhaps someone spiked their Geritol with crack cocaine or meth. Or perhaps, they just don't like police officers. But whatever the reason, they have ordered that crosses that memorilize fallen Utah state patrol troopers as illegal because instead of thinking about that an officer died, some ignorant fool with two teeth might think that Utah is endorsing Christianity instead memorializing a fallen officer.
From Fox News: "The 14 crosses erected along Utah roads to commemorate fallen state Highway Patrol troopers convey a state preference for Christianity and are a violation of the U.S. Constitution, a federal appeals court said Wednesday.
The ruling reverses a 2007 decision by a federal district judge that said the crosses communicate a secular message about deaths and were not a public endorsement of religion. It's the latest in a recent rash of mixed-bag rulings on the public use of crosses.
A three-judge panel from Denver's 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said in its 38-page ruling that a "reasonable observer" would conclude that the state and the Utah Highway Patrol were endorsing Christianity with the cross memorials."

First, I have been to one of these memorials on an Interstate (Not sure which one) and while it had a cross, it did not mention Christianity. It told what happened and gave a brief history of the police officer. It also had a rock monument to the officer. I am not sure if you could have seen the monument from the road.
I work with severely mentally disabled kids and these kids have more intelligence and common sense than these judges.
One hopes that if one of these judges happened to be pulled over by a Utah State Patrol trooper, that the judges may feel first hand, the taste of police brutality. Though, the troopers probably won't because they have far more class than these vermin on the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals.
