"I'm sure that did feel good, and I sympathize with the frustration, but don't you realize that this decision does NOT tell you what you can or can't do?"

Don't you understand that if my children were going to public school, which thank God they are not, that they would not be allowed to recite the Pledge of Allegiance? This idiotic ruling handed down today by two liberal leftist judges told this country NO MORE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE. IT'S UNCONSITUTIONAL. What don't YOU understand about that???

Wrong. The headlines say the pledge is unconstitutional, not the ruling. The ruling says that teachers can't recite it with "under god".

It does not prevent your children from saying it. As far as I can tell, it does not prevent a teacher from reciting it without the "under god".

Are there Freepers from California that are teachers?

I seriously think we should consider encouraging them to violate this ruling when school starts up. Do we have any money left over from the legal defense fund? We could even support them with that if they have to go to court.

I don't think they care about the word "God". What they really want to avoid is pledging allegiance to the Constitution, particularly in the case of politicians, unelected officials and lawyers, particularly under oath. If they don't pledge, they don't violate the pledge. As it is now, they can be deported for a violation (fraudulent nationalization) when we finally get the INS under control.
