The pledge is not in the constitution nor is it refered to in the constitution nor is the Federal Government given the specific right to create a pledge.

See Ammendment 10.

The Federal government does not mandate that public school students recite it. Public schools are still, mostly, under state jurisdiction, and the saying of the pledge of allegence is a state and local policy. Hence under the 10th Amendment, it is perfectly constitutional.

This ruling finally got me to realize why this judicial activism has been happening and how to stop it. The ridiculousness of this ruling helps nail it.

The court did not rule on any law. They were ruling on Community practice which is not in the purview of the Court. The Courts may rule on the Constitutionality or Unconstituionality of a Law but only Congress or state legislatures may pass laws. No law was passed here to require the recitation of the Pledge.

It is simply community practice which is a power retained by the People and outside the Courts jurisdiction.
And EFudd you Refute yourself since the 10 Amendment supports the above.

The Constitution also says that just because a right is not enumerated specifically in the Constitution does not mean the right doesn't exist. Try reading the WHOLE Constitution.

The right of Federal Government to involve itself in public education or education of any kind is not in the Constitution nor is it refered to in the Constitution.
