What about the above reasoning do you find unbelievable?
One flaw is that something as significant as the Pledge of Allegiance to Our Nation, has a legal weight comparable to a Constitutional amendment -- in other words it is INVIOLABLE BY ANY COURT. It is a PLEDGE taken under free will and has no true legal ramifications -- only moral ones.
A PLEDGE is like a ethical contract, designed by the author in TERMS HE DETERMINES FIT.
I do not support mandatory pledges. I am also meta-agnostic (I dont understand what I mean by God), but this ruling brings me more sadness and anger than the events of 9-11.
If I had a flag I would burn it right now, this ruling symbolically marks the spiritual death of a nation, and I will not recognise this zombie-America as my own.
Anyone who blames this on 'three silly judges' is willfully blind to the maggots on her corpse.
Finito.

Nonsense. The Constitution is the law of the land. The pledge has no legal standing as law. The court did not address the wording of the pledge in the abstract (which you would think by the irrational responses posted here), it addressed the case of an agent of the state reciting it in a public institution.
A PLEDGE is like a ethical contract, designed by the author in TERMS HE DETERMINES FIT.
So? That's fine for the author. It is not fine for a teacher leading a class in a state school.
I do not support mandatory pledges.
Then you agree with the court?

Absurdity. Get a grip.

Not so fast, you're among like minded believers in America here, it is not time to give up the battle and leave the greatest hope for mankind in the hands of the moronic liberal tin foil hat wearing barbarians that are so unable to apply their miniscule intellects constructively that such an insane decision as this can be handed down during a war.
The discussion should center on what response should be made to this disgusting ruling.
I'd say it is not time yet for violent confrontation against these sixties era relics, I think that impeachment is the way to go. These sixth jerkuit schlameels MUST be removed by impeachment and the process has GOT to start NOW, we should be looking for a high profile person to head the effort.
Any suggestions people?
