Finally some judicial sanity on Civil War memorials.

Doesn't matter. Over and over I've read and heard instances of you guys wanting to promote local rights over higher levels. This is especially true when it comes to school districts and decisions involving public school education. I'm sure you can think of cases where something clearly unconstitutional was proposed to be taught in public school -- the teaching of creationism, for example. RWers wanted schools (about as local as you can get) to be able to choose whether or not to teach this religious-oriented belief system... even though it violates the Constitution.
As for the statues/war monuments, I'm not sure what interest the state has in removing or keeping ones that reside within city boundaries. Are they on state-owned land? Did the state use taxpayer funds to purchase them?
If I were the city, and a majority of the citizens agreed, I'd build a tall solid fence around the statues to block them from view. Problem solved. lol
Why are you compelled to take the MORON position with every post? STFU you brain dead lunatic.
^^ This is a brain on repugnant moron; don't be one.
Moron eruption. 
This is why you cannot argue with a low IQ, hypocritical, leftist moron. They don't hear anything you say, they don't have any connection to reality, and like the idiots that they are, merely attempt to drag you down to their LOW IQ level where they can beat you with experience.
States rights; look it up dumb ignorant fuck.
Conservatives have shit values, so naturally they will try to glorify and sanitize the failures in history with whom they share those values.
So that's why Conservatives defend white supremacists, Nazis, Confederate traitors, homophobes, xenophobes, antisemites, misogynists, bigots, racists, and dictators.

I understand your ignorance of the value of historical monuments and statues. Did you train in Talaban or ISIS schools, Mujer de Buho?
What is the value, precisely?

The Taliban are as radically hard-right conservative as it gets, Mrs. Bubbles.

I understand your complete and total inability to learn history because it's mostly contained w/in things that frighten you to death. Books.
Why do you support the Taliban and ISIS?
PREPARE TO RAGE, JPP LIBERALS
A big decision in the lawsuit over confederate statues in downtown Charlottesville is likely bad news for liberals.
Circuit Judge Richard Moore has ruled that the statues are war monuments, which are protected under state law. That likely means the city doesn't have the legal right to take them down.
In his nine page ruling, Moore cites the fact that both Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson are depicted in their military uniforms and on horses associated with their time in the Civil War.
"I believe that defendants have confused or conflated 1) what the statues are with 2) the intentions or motivations of some involved in erecting them, or the impact that they might have on some people and how they might make some people feel,” Moore writes. “But that does not change what they are."
Moore finds the issue to be so clear-cut that "if the matter went to trial on this issue and a jury were to decide that they are not monuments or memorials to veterans of the civil war, I would have to set such verdict aside as unreasonable."
The lawsuit was filed after Charlottesville City Council voted to remove the statue of Lee in early 2017.
Legal analysts have said this ruling could sink the city's defense.

Nothing new there, White Globalist.
You stand with Hasan and Domingo.
Will you rise up?
I am waiting.

I beg to differ most conservatives I know support the constitution and states rights not city over state. It's your side that thinks that what ever the people of a city wants tops what the state says. Even your last sentence supports what I said about the left.
BTW the city tried keeping the statues covered but were shot down on that also. Finally some sanity from the courts.

What most of the left that want's these monuments destroyed or removed forget that there are a lot of people who had ancestors that fought on both sides. In my wife's family she has ancestors that fought for the north and ancestors that fought for the south. Should she revere one and not the other? No! That was a different era and the left must quit trying to enforce their PC on a people who are long dead and gone.

Is that anything like when Attorney General John Ashcroft covered nude statues?
