Our constitution is the foundation of our legal system and the guarantee of our freedom. The 9th Circuit Court judges who declared the Pledge with the words "under God" in it to be unconstitutional were almost certainly incorrect in their understanding of the First Amendment. If they can fool around with one part of the Bill of rights ,like that they can fool around with all of them. The third judge on the panel had it right. If the full 11-judge panel re-hears the case or if it goes to the Supreme Court I've no doubt that the matter will be properly disposed of. The 9th Circuit court is the most frequently reversed appeals court in the federal court system. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
