In '''''Buono v. Kempthorne''''', 2007 U.S. App. LEXIS 21281 (9th Cir. Sept. 6, 2007), the [[ACLU]] persuaded the [[Ninth Circuit]] to forbid [[Congress]] from saving a cross.   

The history of this case is as follows.  The [[ACLU]] Foundation of Southern California provided the legal counsel for one Frank Buono, who objected to a cross in the remote Mojave National Preserve, otherwise known as the Mojave Desert.  A wooden cross was originally erected there in 1934 by the Veterans of Foreign Wars (“VFW”), in honor of veterans who died in World War I.  It has been replaced several times since, most recently in 1998 by a local resident named Henry Sandoz, who bolted the cross into Sunrise Rock.  It is difficult to remove.
