I think there should be no references to religion in any gov't buildings. A cemetery is a piece of land......I have no problem with crosses on that land.

This isn't just ANY cemetary. To look at it, one would assume that Christianity is the only ticket in. But it is owned by our government.

This is a totally inconsistent position. It isn't a government building, but it is government property. What about Muslims and Jews who want to be buried at Arlington Cemetary (or any other military cemetary) and don't want a cross? Are they able to "opt-out"?

The Ten Commandments is primarily a Christian artifact.......we are not a Christian nation exclusively so there is a double reason to keep it out of gov't buildings.

The Ten Commandments is primarily a Christian artifact...

So, while the Supreme Court meets in a building the the Commandants inscribed upon it, your view is we should do away with it. If this inscription is unconstitutional, don't you think someone over the last 200 years would have acted to get rid of it?
