As previously noted and for those that missed it, the US Supreme Court vacated the ruling against the cross standing in Pensacola’s Bayview Park and sent it back to the lower courts “for further consideration in light of” the Bladensburg cross ruling (which allowed the cross to remain). In the original Bayview ruling, the 11th Circuit had “reluctantly” ruled against the cross due to precedent and essentially asked the Supreme Court to overrule them.

Given that history, it seems likely the Bayview cross will stand.

The American Humanist Association, which was attacking the Bladensburg cross, is also behind the attack on the Bayview cross. Whether they will appeal a ruling against them, again, remains to be seen.
