Jeez, these stupid wrong and misleading headlines make me so mad. The court ruled that the ADDING OF THE WORDS "One nation, under God" is unconstitutional, not that the pledge itself was. The stupid press can not even get it right(probably on purpose, though).
The lower court dismissed the case, and now it has been reinstated with the ruling that those words are "unconstitutional". How this plays out is still up in the air.
In addition, this doesn't mean schools across the country who have students recite the pledge will stop. I bet very few do, anyway, but the ones that do will not stop. This is unenforceable without troops at the doors.
Freepers need to chill out, read the ruling, and just wait for the lower court to take this up.
The courts ruled that the Pledge as is is uncostitutional becase it violates a statue that does not even exist in the Constitution.
Why do you wonder why people are livid? This is a violation of our rights of free speech and the freedom to believe anything not on the liberal agenda.
