Pledge of Allegiance Ruling BACKLASH!

[B.R. Burton]

I'm loving this backlash against the Courts on their ruling on the Pledge of Allegiance. Even some liberals, like John Kerry and Robert Byrd, have to go with the flow. John Kerry called it "the most absurd thing I ever heard of", and Robert Byrd called for the house to pray to the Almighty, the most Supreme Judge in the Universe. IF CONSERVATIVES ARE SMART, THEY WILL SEIZE ON THIS LIKE A PIT-BULL, and MAGNIFY THE BACKLASH AGAINST THE LIBERAL-JUDICIAL ACTIVISM OF THE COURTS. If we followed the line of reasoning in this ruling, then the Declaration of Independence would ALSO be Unconstitutional.

IF CONSERVATIVES ARE SMART ...

You just doomed your own suggestion ...

This ruling just destroyed our monetary system. In God We Trust will have to be rephrased to: In Government We Trust. The regulations governing our education system are coming home to roost on the rest of society. We let this phenomenon rule our education system and now the adults can get a whiff of what our children have had to endure.

The RATS have hopped on board ...I even *loved* what old Robert Byrd had to say in the Senate...

My take is the Republicans will not be able to seize this issue.

[B.R. Burton]

How did I doom it? I'm a conservative.

[monkeyshine]

Nope. The GOP can't gain from this. It was a GOP appointed judge who did it.

It was a GOP appointed judge who did it.

Goes to show that having a GOP president to nominate judges is no guarantee of any sense from the bench.

[IronJack]

Conservatives AREN'T smart. If they were, we wouldn't be in this predicament. We've retreated from this issue for half a century. NOW we decide to dig in our heels???!!! Now that the socialists own the media, education, the arts, bureaucracy, and most of the rest of the world???

Smart. Real smart.

No there are no guarantees,. Earl Warren was the most egregious example. However; there is a gurantee that all judges appointed by democrats WILL make these kinds of rulings.

I saw the guy who started this in an interview. He said getting UNDER GOD out of the Pledge was his first step towarding getting it off our monetary units.

Even the Democrats run from this while the Libertarians praise this.
Must mean the Libertarians are on the far left of Democrats again!

And Bush will use this example of ridiculous judges in current courts to get his nominations for judges pushed through the Senate.

[A CA Guy]

Nixon tried to get along with Democrats and sent quite a few liberals to the bench as a token of cooperation.
Stupid move.
The rent-a-judge was one of these libs from the Nixon days.
He's always ruled like this and it is no surprise.

But there was a replacement the Dems have kept off the bench for over a year now.
So the Dems allowed this dufus to rule because they refuse to have hearings for Bush's nominees.

[A CA Guy]

Conservative aren't sure they always have a majority of the voting electorate, so they often chicken out of doing what they could to the level they should!

[Texas Mom]

Nope. The GOP can't gain from this. It was a GOP appointed judge who did it.

You must have been talking to Alan Combs.... It was more than one judge and it was a Nixon appointee... In case you missed Alan saying that over and over again.. Lets see. Nixon was appointing judges 30 years ago? Besides is it supposed to make a difference that he is a Nixon appointee? He is a California Liberal who has been on the bench too long.

This could be a good argument for electing these judges instead of life long appointees.
