      Actually overturning two lower courts. Trump has been appointing a lot of federal judges, I wonder...
      Atheism is the cult of death, the death of hope. The universe is doomed, you are doomed, the only thing that remains is to await your execution...

                            Seems like the simplest solution would have been to donate the land back to the American Legion or some church organization.

                              Actually - that would have been a great idea...

                                Or sell it! I bought two whole city blocks in Cleveland Ohio for $1.00 each back in the late 80's - one of them contained a pretty good sized public school, which we turned into a neighborhood care center.
                                The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.
