Pledge of Allegiance and Judicial Action Petition
On Wednesday, June 26, 2002, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals overturned a 1954 act of Congress which inserted the phrase "under God" after the words "one nation" in the pledge of allegiance. The court said the phrase violates the so-called Establishment Clause in the Constitution that requires a separation of church and state.
I believe America was founded on Judeo-Christian values and principles which are continually being eroded by legislation and court actions.
I believe it's time to say "Enough is enough!"
I hereby petition:
The Justice Department and other authoritative parties to immediately appeal this outrageous decision to the US Supreme Court;
The Senate Judiciary Committee to immediately commence confirmation hearings and votes for President Bush's nominees so that we may have qualified judges on the bench;
The full Senate to promptly schedule floor votes on President Bush's judicial nominees.
NINTH CIRCUIT RULES U.S. AN ILLEGAL ESTABLISHMENT OF RELIGION
United States Now Null And Void, Says Court
April 23, 2005 (AP) - The United States Ninth Circuit today ruled that the Declaration of Independence was promulgated on an unConstitutional establishment of religion in its use of such language as "the laws of nature and of nature's God ," "endowed by their Creator," "the Supreme Judge of the world," "the protection of Divine Providence," and "sacred honor."
As a result, the Declaration of Independence is null and void, based as it was on erroneous assumptions about where "unalienable rights" actually come from. Indeed, given the illegal invocation of a mythical "divine being", it is likely that such "rights" are now inoperable.
The Court has decided that herewith, the United States, severally and together, are now under the jurisdiction of the only "supreme judge of the world" and "protector" that can be found, the United Nations.
Speaking shortly after the ruling was handed down, U.N. General Secretary Bill Clinton announced that the U.N. is selling off the individual states one by one, in an auction on eBay commencing on Sunday of this week. The initial bids are expected to be high, as the states are considered one-of-a-kind collectibles.
Details will follow as they become available.
