H.Amdt. 1187 to H.R. 2389 – Pledge Protection - Amendment sought to preserve the authority of the United States Supreme Court to hear or decide any question pertaining to the interpretation of, or the validity under the Constitution of, the Pledge of Allegiance, as defined in 4 U.S.C. section 4, or its recitation.>>> 96% of Republicans voted to preserve “under God” from the hands of activist judges. Castle gave activist judges the authority to take “Under God” out of the pledge of allegiance.

The intent was to enable the courts to overrule Congress and delete it. Previously, Congress had exempted this from courts reach!

Wrong. Your ignorance is astounding. The House passed H.R. 2028 back in 2004 (and Castle voted for it) but it was blocked in the Senate. Thus, the Courts never had their jurisdiction removed. H.R. 2389 was another attempt to remove the Jurisdiction of the Court. H.Amdt. 1187 was an amendment to H.R. 2389 offered by Mel Watt of NC. It wasn't a Bill. It was simply an Amendment to the underlying bill. If it was passed, it would have excepted the Supreme Court from the effect of the Bill. IOW: All of the Federal Courts EXCEPT the Supreme Court would have had their jurisdiction removed. The amendment failed, and Castle voted for the underlying bill anyway.

If O'Donnell is such a good candidate, why do you need to lie for her?

My reading of the bill and amendment certainly do not agree with you or your candidate.

The misrepresentations by Castle are monumental - the lies are outlandish - the drummer he marches to is way out of step with the thinking of freedom loving people.

I have know Mike for more than a quarter of a century - the highlights of his career came when he was approving the designs for quarters and naming post offices, then he was discovered to be pliable by the ultra liberals and they have used him for the last few years!

Try telling me something he has done to promote Liberty or Freedom - Hmmm, pick a topic - Border? Second Amendment? Human Cloning Experiments? Spending limits? Missile Defense? Free Enterprise? Self-sufficiency? Energy (other than pinwheels and sunlight which aren’t sufficient to support more than minimalist existence) Winning wars? The list could go on and on - but I’m sure you aren’t interested in addressing any of them.
