This one is a sure loser from the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals. See ya at the big house when Cert is granted.

[Man of the Right]

May the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals eat *hit and die.

[Russell Scott]

Mark my words, when the FULL gospel is preached in San Francisco by the Sons of God, they will either be on its knees asking God's forgiveness and mercy, or large portions of the city will be in the Pacific Ocean.

Now your beginning to understand what Armageddon really is. Man's final offer to accept or reject Christ's Kingdom before He returns to rule and reign.

Luke 10
8 And into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you:
9 And heal the sick that are therein, and say unto them, The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.
10 But into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you not, go your ways out into the streets of the same, and say,
11 Even the very dust of your city, which cleaveth on us, we do wipe off against you: notwithstanding be ye sure of this, that the kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.
12 But I say unto you, that it shall be more tolerable in that day for Sodom, than for that city.

If our allegiance to this nation is
NOT UNDER GOD,
then is it OVER GOD?
or is it ABOVE GOD?
or is it BEFORE GOD?

Exodus 20:3
Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

pinging for the pledge.

World of Idiots, that's what they should call the 9th Circuit.

I guess Dash-Hole and Hitlery are happy.

[FreeTally]

So, the 9th Circuit simply said "ou original ruling was correct. Who expected anything else?

[HumanaeVitae]

Just remember...the Ninth Circus ok'd physician-assisted suicide.

[nothingnew]

"Ban of the 9th Circuit court upheld by God."....

I like that better.

Are they proposing we set ourselves OVER God?

[FreedomPoster]

Heard about this on the radio, had no idea where the case was at, and immediately said to myself "another idiot 9th Circuit decision."

This is a tremendous opportunity for Republicans.

Whatever Miguel Estrada's imagined shortcomings are, we can be pretty sure he wouldn't be as bad as the 9th Circuit.

Hang this tire around the Democrats' neck and set it on fire.

[LowOiL]

Too bad conservatives don't get as fired up about SCOTUS judges as they do presidential elections. It shows in the crap conservatives allow to get office by not holding the same hissy fits dems do.

Courts are very very important to winning the constitution back to where it belongs.

[goodseedhomeschool]

HOMESCHOOL RULES!!! :)

[Prowler Fowler]

9th Circuit must be only using plastic to pay for anything, since taking this to the Liberal conclusion, U.S. Currency becomes unconstitutional with this ruling

[INSENSITIVE GUY]

"ONE NATION UNDER GOD"--NOW STICK THAT UP YOUR BLACK ROBE!

[aristeides]

I think it just became much harder for RAT senators to block the confirmation of Miguel Estrada.

[Vic3O3]

Kalifornia...it's like a whole other Planet!

Did you see the Court also refused the mother's request to remove the daughter from the case?

The in god we trust on our money, The song God Bless America, A christmas tree in a firehouse, even the 10 commandments in various courthouses around the country are one thing. They are mostly just historic symbolism. Those things no more endorse religion than owning a product with a "Union made" label on means you endorse unions.

However giving your word in taking a Pledge of Allegiance to your country is something totally different. By adding the words under god you are forcing people who know there is no god to basically lie and take a meaningless pledge. And don't give me that you don't have to say those words BS, Why shouldn't people who know there is no god not be able to Pledge Allegiance to their country which supposedly has freedom of or from religion. What are atheist, Hindus, etc., not somehow real Americans?? Let me guess Freedom of Religion but only if it's one of the acceptable christian religions.

The other argument given is since some of our governmental traditions are christian based so the words "Under god" should be included but argument falls flat because just as many if not more are based on Roman, Greek and Norse tradition. So by that logic Zeus, Jupiter and Odin should be mentioned in any pledge.

The quickest way for conservatives to lose power is to push to replace the tyrannical "Big government" with the tyrannical "Big Religion"

[Iconoclast2]

My favorite parts of Judge O'Scannlain's dissent:

"My disagreement with the panel majority has nothing to do with bending to the will of an outraged populace, and everything to do with the fact that Judge Goodwin and Judge Reinhardt misinterpret the Constitution and 40 years of
Supreme Court precedent. That most people understand this makes the decision no less wrong. It doesn’t take an Article III judge to recognize that the voluntary recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance in public school does not violate the First Amendment."

"If reciting the Pledge is truly “a religious act” in violation of the Establishment Clause, then so is the recitation of the Constitution itself, the Declaration of Independence, the Gettysburg Address, the National Motto, or the singing of the National Anthem. Such an assertion would make hypocrites out of the Founders, and would have the effect of driving any and all references to our religious heritage out of our schools, and eventually out of our public life."

And isn't that, of course, the goal of the Niners?
