U.S. To Challenge Pledge Ruling - Dispute Over Words 'Under God' Headed To Supreme Court

The 9th Circuit bozos need to be removed immediately.

"THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT will spare no effort to preserve
the rights of all our citizens to pledge allegiance to the American flag," Ashcroft said in a statement issued in Washington.
"We will defend the ability of Americans to declare their patriotism through
the time-honored tradition of voluntarily reciting the pledge."

Lets Roll

[bannie]

What sounded impossible to Red Skelton...

[MamaB]

You are so right and these are the kind of people the nutty dems want on the courts.

[SierraWasp]

Guess we'll never find out the pro vs. con votes of the members of the 9th numbskulls. Actually, they are all cons, as far as I'm concerned.

[kitkat]

So what else did we expect from the Ninth Circuit Court? What we need to do now is to PRAY that this nation UNDER GOD is saved from an atheist who seeks to impose his minority opinion on the rest of us.

[VaBthang4]

See the Liberal tactic?

They rule....people scream bloody murder....they stay the decision....then try to slip it through later.

Poor job editing the article, changing meaning in places...

The ninth circuit has 18 Clinton appointed judges, 7 Carter appointed judges and a handful of token repub appointees. It is the most overturned court in the land and ha the dubious distinction of being overturned by SCOTUS 5 times in one month last year.

[concerned about politics]

The courts can't let a handful of special interest athiest control the country and rewrite the Constitution to the point where it suits them.
During the abortion debate, a poll showed 90% of Americans believe in a God. Even the leftist dirt worshipers have their God of the forests. The gays have their God of Sodomy. NOW has their Goddesses of ministration (or something like that), and the libertarians worship Beucannon ( or however you spell his name).
Our nation was born with religious freedom. We can't let a few immoral kooks ruin it for the Christians in this nation and still allow all those other thing worshippers to retain their "Gods" Of whatever. It's simply unconstitutional.

[Laverne]

Who are the three judges? Who appointed them? Can this be used in the continued debate about Estrada?

[jwalsh07]

18 should have read 8.

[farmfriend]

Actually, they are all cons, as far as I'm concerned.

Longing for a three strikes rule.

[madprof98]

I keep thinking that if people just knew that this is what the Dems want to see the Supreme Court itself look like, they'd surely stop voting for them. But, perhaps not . . .

[metesky]

Tempest in a teapot...

[jwalsh07]

Who are the three judges?

Justice Death, Justice Famine and Justice Plague.

Just kiddin.

Tempest in a teapot...

The school kids in Oakland County are being forced NOT to recite the pledge while the ruling stands.

At the same time a couple of hundred thousand other American kids are getting ready to put it all on the line.

I'd say it's a bit more than a tempest when the state forbids its xitizens from pledging allegiance to their nation at time of war.

[BOBWADE]

I beleive that the Supremes themselves have some sort of prayer or statement referring to GOD at the begining of each court session. Should be interesting to see if they believe that they have been violating the constitution all these years.
