whatever happened to freedom of worship?

Freedom of worship is the point. What if you worship Krishna? Or noone?

Decision

[10] In conclusion, we hold that (1) the 1954 Act adding the words “under God” to the Pledge, and (2) EGUSD’s pol-icy and practice of teacher-led recitation of the Pledge, with the added words included, violate the Establishment Clause. The judgment of dismissal is vacated with respect to these two claims, and the cause is remanded for further proceedings consistent with our holding. Plaintiff is to recover costs on this appeal.

REVERSED AND REMANDED.

Exactly. A tempest in a teapot. We recited - "one nation, indivisible", -- all through WWII, & Korea, and it served the purpose just fine.

Anyone know why it was changed?

Several more candidates have made themselves visible for their turn in the Navy lockup down in Charleston.

They were long black night dresses.

Time to round'em up.

Pardon me, but I think I will use Thomas Jefferson's words.

[The Charters of Freedom]

The Declaration of Independence: A Transcription

IN CONGRESS, July 4, 1776.

The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America,

When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

Rush is playing Red Skelton's Pledge of Allegiance. Listen to the very last line, where he says, "Wouldn't it be sad if someone decided "under God" is a prayer and they take the Pledge out of school?

You need Real Player to listen. You can listen to Red's pledge by clicking below.

This can go to the Supreme Court, can't it?

There's a level of review (sort of) between the Supreme Court and the 9th Circuit.

It's called an en banc review and is basically a request for the entire federal appeals court to decide the issue instead of just a three-judge panel of the court.

(Disclaimer/clarification - My understanding is that the Ninth Circuit, unlike other circuits, has so many judges (30+) that a review by *all* of the justices is nearly impossible because of the size the courtroom would have to be. But they still do en banc reviews).

Anyhow, it will most likely be overturned en banc and the Supreme Court will deny cert (refuse to hear the case - leaving the last ruling in effect).

I think the "one nation under God" part was added to the pledge when Ike was president, correct? I forgot.
