Hehehe. In Saudi Arabia, Concern About Rocky Relations With U.S.. I wonder if His Royal Highness, Prince Abdulla still thinks his "tutoring" of our "noble minded", cowboy President went well ? The Middle East is about to be reshaped for good and the Saudi Royal family understands that all to well.

Our good friend the Saudis. Weren't 15 of the 19 9-11 highjackers Saudis? Good article.

BTW, I had seen some of yesterday's posts re: the 9th Circus Court. I went to their web site, and they show 45 judges, but didn't indicate whether they were active or not. Sometimes this court makes good decisions, but so much depends on which judges are hearing the case. I have actually sat in on one of their reviews, and it was fascinating. They made a good ruling on the case - it was a case regarding the Clean Water Act, and ruled against the radical environmental group. I could almost see which way the ruling would go based on the judges' questions, although I've heard it said by experienced lawyers that that often isn't an indication of which way they would rule.

Thank you and Swerve for the good links.

Day 10 and still no word on baby Billy.
Prayers up.

Even my dim/lib rep gets this one - the pledge matter.

Dear Lodwicks:

Thank you for your communication regarding the decision made by
a 2-1 majority of the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, which ruled that
the Pledge of Allegiance is an unconstitutional "endorsement of
religion" because of the addition of the phrase "under God" in 1954
by Congress.

I support the Pledge of Allegiance in the form that I have been
saying it since I was a student at Bryker Woods Elementary and the
way we say it at the beginning of each day of Congress.
Accordingly, I voted in favor of House Resolution 459, "expressing
the Sense of the House of Representatives that Newdow v. U.S.
Congress was erroneously decided."
