Queer Atheists Mount Soledad is still wearing its illegal 42-foot cross overlooking all of San Diego, but after 12 years of winning court rulings from 44 federal judges, Philip Paulson isn't about to give up his battle to clear this giant religious icon of christian supremacy off public land. On Wednesday, April 4, Paulson was back in court as the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, another three-judge panel in Pasadena, California, heard another appeal on this case.

As Philip reports on his website, oral arguments were presented before Appellate Judges Hug, Tallman, and Duhe. He expressed concern about the passage of Proposition F, which determined the vote of a majority over a minority.

The Appellate ruling is pending, and could take up to four months. It should be obvious where we've changed the wording.
