No kidding. Since the Warren court, judges have wrapped politically based decisions in various penumbras and emanations of made up and lately, international or even Nigerian law. Then they get angry when we criticize them as we would any other pol.

You probably couldn't have imagined such things would be argued so far in the future from 200 years ago.

How the pledge used to be performed...
