LA County Sued for Voting to Remove Cross Off Seal

God bless the plaintiffs who filed the complaint, but practically speaking, I don't see them getting too far with this.

The suit alleges that the supervisors' action was hostile toward religion and a waste of taxpayers' money.

Supervisors earlier this month voted 3-2 to approve a new county seal to avoid a lawsuit by the American Civil Liberties Union of Southern California.

The ACLU claimed the cross symbol represented a government endorsement of Christianity in violation of the First Amendment.
