Hurt 'Feelings' Not Enough for Federal Case

A federal case should not be based on somebody’s hurt “feelings,” according to a brief filed with the U.S. Supreme Court urging the justices to act in the dispute over the Mt. Soledad Memorial in San Diego, which features a cross.

The friend-of-the-court brief was filed by the Alliance Defense Fund on behalf of thousands of members of the United Retired Firefighters Association and the American Legion.

The case, brought in the 1980s by an atheist who claims to have been offended by the existence of the memorial’s symbol, has been elevated to the high court by the split decision of the often-overturned 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals that the cross should be removed.

The ADF brief said those who claim to be offended are suffering no injury.
