Ted, I suspect if we had to vote every time someone wanted to put up a religious icon, that's all we would be doing.......is voting. Then we elect representatives who get to define what should or shouldn't be kosher (pardon the pun) for public display. Of course, said representatives are at the mercy of the ACLU and their lawyers. And the ACLU is anything but directly elected by the people or even appointed by elected representatives. They're a special interest group who takes their cases to the few sympathetic judges out there and creates a culture of fear with their lawsuits. And those people who believe in Freedom OF religion want that expression every where, no matter how much it tramples on the rights of those who do not practice any religion. What rights are those? The right not to be offended? There is no such right. The right to object and the right to express differing points-of-view? Religious expression in public places doesn't trample on those rights.
