IIRC, each of the Supremes rides herd over one or more District Courts. I wonder which one spends his time looking over the 9th Circuit?

US Judge/Pledge Ruling -2: Puts His Own Decision On Hold




SAN FRANCISCO (AP)--A day after he shocked the nation by declaring the Pledge of Allegiance unconstitutional, a U.S. federal appeals court judge put his ruling on hold Thursday.

Circuit Judge Alfred T. Goodwin, who wrote the 2-1 opinion that said the phrase "under God" violates the separation of church and state, stayed his ruling until other members of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals decide whether to change course.

The appeals court can rehear the case with the same three judges, or an 11-judge panel.

Goodwin's action Thursday has no immediate impact, since the ruling already was on hold by court rules for 45 days to allow for any challenges.

Vikram Amar, a Hastings College of the Law scholar who closely follows the appeals court, said the latest ruling means that, for now, Wednesday's opinion finding the pledge unconstitutional "has no legal force or effect."

"They're acknowledging the likelihood that the whole 9th Circuit may take a look at this," Amar said.

Sandra Day O'Connor rides the 9th Circuit for what it's worth.

9TH Circuit Judge blocks own ruling!

Well, Bobby Byrd (D-Textiles) did call him the STUPID judge on the Senate floor...

[Don'tMessWithTexas]

It is a done deal that the 9th Circuit will hear this one en banc. What's weird is that the judge is holding his OWN ruling.

[arthurus]

I wonder which one spends his time looking over the 9th Circuit

I hope it is Thomas or Scalia. The 9th deserves one of those.

[Swanks]

Can anyone post the 9th Circuits offices numbers? I'd like to call and ask to speak to 'The Stupid Judge'...

OPENING PRAYER - KANSAS STATE SENATE


When Minister Joe Wright was asked to open the new session of
the Kansas Senate, everyone was expecting the usual generalities,
but this is what they heard:

Heavenly Father, we come before you today to ask your
forgiveness and to seek your direction and guidance. We know
Your Word says, "Woe to those who call evil good," but that is
exactly what we have done.

We have lost our spiritual equilibrium and reversed our values.
We confess that:

We have ridiculed the absolute truth of Your Word and
called it Pluralism.

We have exploited the poor and called it the Lottery.

We have rewarded laziness and called it welfare.

We have killed our unborn and called it choice.

We have shot abortionists and called it justifiable.

We have neglected to discipline our children and called it
building self-esteem.

We have abused power and called it politics.

We have coveted our neighbor's possessions and called it
ambition.

We have polluted the air with profanity and pornography and
called it freedom of speech.

We have ridiculed the time-honored values of our forefathers
and called it enlightenment.

Search us, Oh, God, and know our hearts today; cleanse us
from every sin and set us free.

Guide and bless these men and women who have been sent to
direct us to the center of Your will and to openly ask
these things in the name of Your Son, the living Savior, Jesus Christ.
Amen.

I guess he felt strongly both ways.

Forget the 'stupid judge' --- it's the evil Reinhart who causes most of the trouble --- I think Reinhart may be the most overturned judge in America. His rulings belong in the old Soviet Union.

I thought it was cool.
