Technically, wouldn't the court only have to strike down the 1956 addition of "under God" as unconstitutional, and not the whole Pledge?

Sounds like overreaching to me.

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?

Exactly....and most public schools and public places I've heard of drop it anyway. IMO it never should have been added to begin with....it contradicts the Constitution.
