I'm not sure how he knows this, but Judge Andrew Napolitano said that the mother and daughter who brought this suit about the pledge of allegiance also wants "In God We Trust" removed from money.

Not "mother" and daughter-- "father" and daughter. He considers himself a "patriot." The dad is big on laswuits.

"I'm not sure how he knows this, but Judge Andrew Napolitano said that the mother and daughter who brought this suit about the pledge of allegiance also wants "In God We Trust" removed from money."

Then the oath "to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth so help me God" would be next. If that happens, you may as well change the whole system of justice to find the truth without the testimony of sworn witnesses. What a can of worms this is going to be. Furthermore, whatever testimony is gained without an oath would be meaningless, for there would be no penalty for lying under oath. Hey! Is Crinton behind all this?

Under God" Under Appeal Physician Michael Newdow of Broward County, Florida, has appealed the dismissal of his 1998 lawsuit seeking to remove "under God" from the Pledge of Allegiance and restore its original language dating to 1892. The part-time resident of Fort Lauderdale is suing on behalf of his daughter, 5

. U.S. District Judge Ursula Ungaro-Benages dismissed the case because his daughter wasn't yet school-age. Newdow argues that permitting his daughter to sit out the pledge, as provided for by a 1940's Supreme Court case, still subjects her to outsider status and religious dogma in school. The court has not considered the pledge since it was amended to include "under God" in 1948, although it recently let stand a federal court ruling dismissing a similar challenge out of Chicago. The U.S. House didn't open each daily session with the pledge until 1988, and the U.S. Senate didn't follow suit until June 24 this year.
