awww......beat me to it |

Let me guess -- Ninth Circus. These liberal judges are ruining this country.
|
|
Very Good! |
|
|
Everytime a liberal judge does something that is both visible and incredibly stupid, the dems lose another seat in the House. |
|
We're still going to recite the pledge, anyway! This is actually good news, we're going to win more seats in the 2006 election cycle.

Congress should have fun with this. Pass a law requiring federal judges to open court with the pledge of allegiance each day.

Judge: School Pledge Is Unconstitutional Sep 14 2:20 PM US/Eastern By DAVID KRAVETS Associated Press Writer SAN FRANCISCO Reciting the Pledge of Allegiance in public schools was ruled unconstitutional Wednesday by a federal judge who granted legal standing to two families represented by an atheist who lost his previous battle before the U.S. Supreme Court. U.S. District Judge Lawrence Karlton ruled that the pledge's reference to one nation "under God" violates school children's right to be "free from a coercive requirement to affirm God." Karlton said he was bound by precedent of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, which in 2002 ruled in favor of Sacramento atheist Michael Newdow that the pledge is unconstitutional when recited in public schools. Shameful |

Yet another stupid hippy, throwing my tax dollars down the fucking toilet
If ya dont wanna say the God part...just dont say it... |

"We the People" need a way to remove bad Federal Judges...
this shit is just out of control from the idiot judges. |

Guys, it is like a rubber band stretching and stretching.... The more the left pulls, eventually it is either going to snap back or break. Either way the people pulling are going to get hurt.
ETA: This is what has become of the 1960's generation. Anyone who thought back then that they were just kids being crazy kids was fooling themselves. |
|
You know, that's a good point. No teacher is going to punish a child who remains silent for the "under God" part. There's no sense in ruling the whole damn thing unconstitutional. |
|
|
The Dems are showing more and more that they actually hate the America that was founded.
|
|
The problem they want any of us to say the word God either. This is truly the minority ruling the majority. |
|
|
I agree with that but it would apply the other way as well. Restore the pledge to its original form and let anyone who wishes to add "under God" or "under Vishnu" or "under Thor's Hammer" or whatever as they please. |

Huh? I thought the US Supreme Court overturned that ruling? Or am I thinking of something else? |
|
|
I thought that the Supreme Court had already addressed this issue.

Not true at all. I could care less if you say God or Vishnu or Santa Claus or the Easter Bunny. It really doesn't bother me that the pledge has God in it. I just don't agree that "not saying God" is anything you can justify. If its ok for an atheist to say nothing and members of other religions to alter it to fit their beliefs, then it should be ok for a Christian to add the words "under God" if the pledge is restored to its original form. |

|
no, they ruled that Newdow didn't have an interest in the case. They never ruled on the matter itself. |
|
|
|
my favorite reading of the pledge, and his last sentence was prophetic |
|
|
Don't lump us all in with nutcases like him. You know, many of us served our country so your generalization is BS. |

Nobody refers to the Vietnam war vets, or the hardworking everyday types, as the "60's generation" Most of them are referring to the hippie trash and where they are now. I may have been born in the mid '70s, but if someone asked me if I was a "child of the seventies" I would have to say, "No". I tend to not lump myself in with the free drugs and sex crowd. |

I take it you DO care then? Sorry...but the pedantic grammar Nazi in me just refuses to let that one slip by... |

"One Nation Under the Flying Spaghetti Monster..."
Eh, the original pledge did have that in there, the SC will find a way to duck this one also. |
|
bah! |
||||
|
it bothers me so much that so many rulings and precedent is based on "the spirit of the law" or whatever, when the obvious spirit of the constitution and ammends. is "...leave each other alone." every law they pass because something bothers somebody usually interferes with about 10X as many people's lives. |
|
?? Are you saying the original pledge had under God in it? That wasn't added until 1954. Another fun fact was the the author of the pledge was a socialist |
|
|
ummmmm.... I thought it was added in the 50's? ETA: just did a quick google...
|
||
|
I agree, they never should have changed the pledge in the first place... |
|
|
there... fixed it for ya... |
