#1 Ninth Circus again.
But those bozos are getting reduced to Calif. and Hawaii. Next time around just Berkley.

#3 Pledge of Allegiance is unconstitutional?

What the hell will those dickwads come up with next? I guess the statue of liberty is unconstitutional too.

#5 Funny, I don't remember being coerced to say the pledge, I remember inventing my own words, or saying blah, blah, blah from time to time and somehow avoided any repurcusions at all.

This has nothing to do with establishing a religion and everything to do with an athiests crusade.

#6 They'd be furious. And that's exactly what goes on against atheists.

Are all atheists furious over the "under god" reference or is it just small vocal group of a minority of the population? I'm inclined to say just remove the quote and move on but there appears to be an agenda here that goes beyond what is on the surface. As far as I can tell there hasn't been any persecution of atheists. Last time I checked the consititution doesn't grant "Freedom from religion".

#7 You be the judge:

Is the 9th Circuit eligible for prime time Bosnian grenade tossing?

Yes ______ No _______

#8 The 9th Circuit is the poster child for the Congress abrogating its responsilities under said Constitution. Checks and Balances means that Congress need not pass new legislation or amendments. It means that sometime you remove the judges from the bench. The number of overturns of the 9th Circuit should have been justification alone for the removal of a couple of robe wearers. Some members of the Judiciary certainly believe theyâre entitled to abuse their office, so its well long past time that they be shown the door to some professorship at the law colleges and not further federal employment.

Does Newdow own a horse? Maybe Don Corleone could pay him a visit.

#11 The 9th Jerk~~off~~it Court again. Let's get the baddest, boldest conversative associate justices on the SCOTUS as soon as possible, while there is still time.

#13 Actually this wasn't the 9th Circus it was just a lower District Court judge here in NoCal. Doubtless the 9th Circus will soon affirm the decision though. A more interesting slant (to me anyway) to which no one pays any attention: Newdow and his ilk sued several school districts and the educational establishment isn't exactly a bastion of conservatism, particularly here in California. Having lefty school districts defending the Pledge is a bit like letting the fox guard the henhouse, no?

Rendition

#15 Say it with me loud and clear, people:

The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution says that CONGRESS shall make no law establishing religion....

Unless Congress passed a law requiring the Pledge be said in schools, IT'S NOT UNCONSTITUTIONAL.

Send these clown judges back to school and teach them how to READ ENGLISH.

#16 "I plead alignment to the flakes
of the untitled snakes of a merry cow
and to the Republicans for which they scam,
one nacho underpants,
with licorice and jugs of wine for owls"
