Yawn. Neal Boortz (and other libertarians) also agree. Who cares? As the dissenting judge said, it may be technically unconstitutional, but it's "de minimus," which means insignificant, doesn't matter, not worth bothering with, etc.
That is, this was an accepted phrase, used with no coercion (since people cannot be forced to say any or all of the Pledge), and not establishing any particular religion.
I'm waiting to see Neal and the others out trying to scrub the offending WORD off of their currency....

I listen to Neal for maybe an hour most days, and agree with him less than half the time. But he's entertaining.
In a minimal sort of way.

Yawn....I listened to Neal Boortz yesterday on the way to pick up my kids in GA. Boor-ing. "It's the
law, folks." Oh, really? Well, uh...Mr. Boortz....then why wasn't it
struck down in 1954 when President Eisenhour (Sp? sorry I'm tired) signed it?
I love these Libertarians. He says he's a lawyer. Well, if he was such a good lawyer, why does he have a talk show?
Although..he did make some interesting points. Did you know that the Declaration of Independence is NOT a legal document? I did not know that. Maybe we should ask Congress to MAKE IT ONE. After a while, though, I got tired of his self-righteous attitude and changed the channel.
If you get him, Glenn Beck is excellent...very, very funny and always a good show. Well, most of the time. ;-)
