Judge Backs Va. Laws Requiring Pledge, Motto

A federal judge in Alexandria has upheld the constitutionality of Virginia laws that require daily recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance and the posting of the motto "In God We Trust" in state schools, weighing in on the fierce national debate over the role of religion in schools.

The ruling by U.S. District Judge James C. Cacheris is a sign that a controversial appeals court ruling in California that banned teacher-led recitation of the pledge in schools has had little impact nationally and that the issue is probably headed to the U.S. Supreme Court.

The more the liberals open their mouths and spew their rhetoric, the more the people of the United States are beginning to see them for what they REALLY stand for.....Anything that's ANTI-GOD.
