“Here we go again,” writes Beliefnet’s Jay Sekulow.

“An atheist organization files a federal lawsuit. They are offended. This time the target: a Cross placed at the World Trace Center Memorial and Museum at Ground Zero. It is unbelievable that these lawsuits keep coming. As you may recall, lawsuits by atheist organizations have failed repeatedly – in challenging the National Motto, Pledge of Allegiance, as well as the National Day of Prayer.

“This suit, too, is likely to fail in court. But like all litigation, it must be taken seriously at this point.

“That’s why I have instructed a legal team to begin preparing a critical amicus brief to be filed in support of the Cross memorial. We will represent former NYC firefighter and first responder Tim Brown, who lost more than 100 friends that fateful day.”
